What Is Load Securing?
A load, in physics, refers to an electronic component that is connected across a power source in a circuit and is a device used to convert electrical energy into other forms of energy. Commonly used loads include power-consuming components such as resistors, engines, and light bulbs. The most basic requirements for a load are impedance matching and the power it can withstand. [1]
- A load is an electronic component that is connected across a power source that consumes power in a circuit. It is a device that works with electrical energy, also known as "electrical appliances". load
- Inductive load:
- That is, the load is inductive when the load current lags the load voltage by a phase difference compared to the power supply (e.g. the load is a motor, transformer)
- Capacitive load:
- That is, when the load current is ahead of the load voltage by a phase difference from the power supply, the load is capacitive (for example, the load is a compensation capacitor).
- Resistive load:
- Electric light
- That is, when the load current and the load voltage have no phase difference compared to the power supply, the load is resistive (such as an incandescent load; an electric furnace).
- Capacitive load, that is, has the nature of a capacitor (charge and discharge, the voltage cannot be abruptly changed).
- Inductive load, that is, has the nature of inductance (magnetic field, current can not be abrupt).
- In the parallel circuit, the capacitive reactance is larger than the inductive reactance. The circuit is capacitive instead of inductive. [5]
