agree  Vitaly Kisin: load, конечно - потребляющее устройство возникло как калька при плохом переводе на русский, так чего ж его калькировать обратно

  -> Спасибо. В контексте электростанций они еще подразделяются на Critical Loads, Non-critical Loads и т.д. Иных терминов в англоязычной документации к нагрузкам и не применяют. Недаром не гуглится у коллег.

Сonsumption Unit


Explanation:
Применительно к потребителям энергии чаще сталкивался с термином unit, как более общим. Device - чаще что-то небольшое, типа датчика, платы, подсистемы. И почему-то они любят в своих Proposals использовать "потребление" в виде дополнения (на английском). А привереводе на русский, естественно, получается либо прилагательное, либо причастие (относится не только к этому слову).

Я много раз встречал именно consumer в текстах, написаных носителями языка.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Так все-таки: consumer или consuming device? У меня те же 2 варианта, склонялась к consuming device. Что встречается чаще в руководствах пользователя?
