what is the difference between inductive load and capacitive
load?give me some examples in general

Answer Posted / naresh

An inductive load is one in which load current lag the load
voltage and in capacitive load load current lead the load
voltage.
Example of inductive load: Fans,electrical motors etc.
Example of capacitive load: Battory, capacitor bank(used to
improve power factor)etc.

I have a current transformer with 1 main reading meter with transformer outside the building and a control panel having 5 CT reading meters with black round coils inside the building. I want to know, A) when current pass through the Transformers, will the current be reduced or be the same and after that B) when current pass through the CT meters with black round coils, will the current be reduced or be the same. C) in the above process will the reading of the main meter be same or different, from the total reading of all the 5 CT meters.

why do motors burn out? I understand why adding parallel loads to a power source means more current moves through the circuit, and can destroy circuit elements by overheating. What about when you have a vaccuum cleaner intake flush against a floor, a room fan sitting directly against a wall, or a power drill trying to drill through something too hard?
