If the generator is connected to a linear strictly resistive load, it will deliver power as soon as voltage is induced in the generator.
22.
This is because the reactive portion of these loads causes them to draw more current than an otherwise comparable, purely resistive load would draw.
23.
The load of a resistive load bank is created by the conversion of electrical energy to heat via high-power resistors such as grid resistors.
24.
Therefore, with respect to thermostat controlled resistive loads the benefits of voltage reduction can be short lived, and may occasionally end up increasing the aggregate load demand.
25.
An inductive load consists of an iron-core reactive element which, when used in conjunction with a resistive load bank, creates a lagging power factor load.
26.
Most amplifiers'output specifications are given at a specific power into an ideal resistive load; however, a loudspeaker does not have a constant resistance across its frequency range.
27.
If the resistive load is far from the generator and the impedance is changed far from the generator, how does it know ? there is a lag in that information.
28.
There is still some variation, known as impedance path to the AC component of the output, reducing the AC voltage across, and AC current through, the resistive load.
29.
However typical RF sources such as transmitters and signal generators are designed to look into a purely resistive load impedance such as 50? or 75?, corresponding to common transmission lines'characteristic impedances.
30.
For a resistive load like a light bulb, the effect of 50 V DC and 50 V AC will be the same talk ) 15 : 55, 13 September 2010 ( UTC)
