What is resistive load appliance? What is inductive load appliance?
Resistive Load is a kind of electrical load which is characteristic of not having any significant inrush current. When a resistive load is energized, the current rises instantly to it’s steady state value , without first rising to a higher value.
An electrical load in which voltage and current are converted to energy in the form of heat. For example, an electrical heater, candescent bulb. mobile,laptop, TV, LED light, toaster, oven, hot plates, curling irons, coffer makers, video player, small printer, water dispenser, electric cooker, etc.
| Inductive Load is an electrical load which pulls a large amount of current ( an inrush current) when first energized. After a few cycles or seconds the current settles down to the full-load running current. The time required for the current to settle down depends on the frequency or/and the inductance value of the inductive load. |
| It means the large power electric appliance whose working principle is the electromagnetic induction. Like motor, compressor, relay, etc. For these products, the start-up power is much higher than the rated power (about 3~7 times).For example, the rated power of the fridge is 150w, but its start-up power is higher than 1000w. |
