Define the term electrical load

What will be an ideal response?


An electrical load is anything in a circuit that has resistance and uses power or current. The typical loads in an HVAC circuit are the fan motor, compressor motor, condenser motor, compressor resistance heater, the electrical resistance heating coil for an electric furnace. The coils of solenoids, motor starter, contactor or relay can also be identified as loads since they use power.

Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. Motors that used a centrifugal switch to disconnect the start windings cannot be used with variable voltage control.
2. Double-face clutches have both the armature and field discs mounted on the same hub.
3. The accompanying diagram has a double-face magnetic clutch.

4. Clutches cannot provide a smooth start for loads that can be damaged by sudden starting, or for high inertia loads such as centrifuges or flywheels
5. The problem with eddy current clutch circuits is that they lack a speed sensing device that automatically increases or decreases the DC excitation current when load is added or removed
