Resistive loads are typically used to convert into forms of energy such as heat or light, resistive loads generate no magnetic fields, Common include most electrical heaters, welders, EDM Machines, lights.
In a resitive load, the current is in phase with the voltage, the current rises immediatley to a steady state value, with out having any to little inrush current.
