Resistive load
BSRIA Power quality guide (AG 2/2000) was written by C C Pearson and V Uthayanan and published by BSRIA in July 2000. It states:
Resistive loads obey Ohm’s Law (i.e. V = IR ) and the phase difference, ø, between voltage and current is zero. Therefore the power factor is 1 and such loads always consume only real power (P = I²R) from the system.
