Combination of capacitive load and inductive load

Question

what i mean load not compenent

Answer 1

whats the question mate.

Answer 2

The load can only be that kind of device. A motor, DC or AC is going to be an inductive load. As to the nature of your question, each will draw the power from the supply, but each one will be out of phase with the other one. If, however, the reactance of each one should happen to cancel the other one out, then you have what is known as a "resonant circuit" and the current consumed then becomes that of only the resistive components of the circuit.

Technically, a motor, as an example, is going to show the characteristics of both an inductive load, as well as a capacitive load because of the stray capacitance between the motor windings. There will be a capacitive effect present. This would be more noticeable at higher frequencies.

Answer 3

You need to understand Reactive Loads, both Capacitive Reactance and Inductive Reactance.

Look at Power Factor, which is a measure of the phase shift results between the Current and Voltage for a given load at a given frequency.

Purely capacitive circuits cause reactive power with the current waveform leading the voltage wave by 90 degrees, while purely inductive circuits cause reactive power with the current waveform lagging the voltage waveform by 90 degrees. The result of this is that capacitive and inductive circuit elements tend to cancel each other out.
