This reactive power can be provided by the generators themselves, through the adjustment of generator excitation, but it is often cheaper to provide it through capacitors, hence capacitors are often placed near inductive loads to reduce current demand on the power system ( i . e ., increase the power factor ), which may never exceed 1.0, and which represents a purely resistive load.

An inductive load is used to simulate a real-life mixed commercial loads consisting of lighting, heating, motors, transformers, etc . With a resistive-inductive load bank, full power system testing is possible, because the provided impedance supplies currents out of phase with voltage and allows for performance evaluation of generators, voltage regulators, load tap changers, conductors, switchgear and other equipment.
