In the most general sense, the load is the thing that is connect to the output of an electrical circuit. The load can basically be anything. For example, it can be a resistor, or a capacitor or an inductor, or a transistor, or a motor, or an air conditioner etc.it also used to vary the output voltage,current,power

overload relays are used to protect motors, if motors take high current then its capacity, either due to mechanical (Bearing or Pump etc) or electrical winding problem, the overload trips and protect motor from any kind of damage.
