ElectricalLoadClassificationandTypesPartTwo
In the previous topic, Electrical Load Classification and Types Part One, I listed all the Electrical Load
Classifications and Types and today I will begin to explain each electrical load type in more detail.

The Resistive Electrical Loads naturally resist the flow of electricity through it by converting some of this
electrical energy into heat (thermal energy) , the result will be a drop in the amount of electrical energy ELECTRICA

An incandescent light bulb produces light by passing an electric current through a filament in a vacuum. The
resistance of the filament causes it to heat up and the electrical energy is converted to light energy. NFPA780Sim

The capability of a capacitor to store electrical energy is called capacitance (C). The main unit
of measure is the farad, but most capacitors are measured in microfarads.
ELECTRICALSOFTWARE The current leads the voltage of a capacitor. The voltage across the terminals starts out at zero

volts while the current is at its maximum. As the charge builds on the capacitors plate, the
voltage rises and the current falls. As a capacitor discharges, the current rises as the voltage

Examples of inductive loads include transformers, electric motors and coils. Two sets of magnetic fields in
an electric motor oppose each other, forcing the motor's shaft to spin.

The changing voltage and current in an inductor are out of phase. As current rises to a UsingNEC

Inductive load pulls a large amount of current (an inrush current) when first energized. After a

few cycles or seconds the current "settles down" to the fullload running current.
IDSpecSoftware
The time required for the current to "settle down" depends on the frequency or/and the HowtoSele
inductance value of the Inductive load.
