Load current in this context is simply the current thru the wire. As you say, a load consumes power. That power is delivered electrically, which means it is the product of voltage and current. The load current is just that current.

The unit of measurement for current is the ampere or amp. Write, on a piece of paper, the formula for finding average current: I avg = 0.636 X I max. List all the known information using units; since you are determining average current, you should be given the maximum current by your teacher.

full load current in Electrical Engineering A full load current is the largest current that a motor or other device is designed to carry under particular conditions. A full load current is the largest current that a motor or other device is designed to carry under particular conditions.

Load is generally expressed by the value of current it draws from source or by power and voltage. In the former case current represent power as power is equal to product of voltage and current, as voltage from source or grid is constant, it is current which determine the load.

Tip #2: The Load wire is usually coming from the top of the box. The Line wire is usually coming from the bottom of the box.

The color for the Line wire is usually black and the Load wire is usually red, black, or blue (less common).

It is part of a switch loop. A black connected to a group of whites is not normal and probably should be connected to the other blacks. It is normal to have a white connected to a group of blacks if a switch loop is used. you need to determine which set of wires goes to the switch.

The black is the “hot” wire, the white is the neutral, and the copper is the ground.
