Nominal Current:
In respect to Current Transformers, its the allowable current in amperes which can be transmitted by each contact continuously and simultaneously.
Load Current:
Current flowing through the load.
In General...
'Nominal' means named. So the nominal current (or voltage) is the named current. For example, a charger may have a nominal current of 100 mA marked on its nameplate, but the actual current drawn by its load (the load current) may only be, say, 75 mA.

What is the Difference maximum unit current draw and nominal unit current draw?
Maximum current is defined by the rated KW of the device, say Motor. The motor may not run at its maximum rated capacity all the time. Nominal current is drawn when motor runs at nominal load.
How does load current varies with the load resistance?
Load current is related to load resistance by an inverse relationship. The load current increases linearly as load resistance decreases. Remember, the less resistance, the more current.
Why the waveform of no load current is not sinusoidal?
No load current is mostly inductive, hence the load current may not be a sine wave
What is meant by a nominal current?
The word nominal means the lowest possible safe amount. So, nominal current or nominal voltage is the lowest amount necessary to perform an electrical function like keeping a light turned on.AnswerThe original answer is incorrect. 'Nominal' simply means 'named'. So a 'nominal voltage' is the 'named voltage', as opposed to an 'actual voltage'. For example, the nominal voltage of residential supplies in the UK is 230 V; however, this value is allowed to vary between +10/-6% of the nominal voltage. In other words, a nominal voltage of 230 V may vary between 216 V and 253 V.
What is the Full load motor current of a 75KW motor?
Full load starting current is typically in the region of 5or 6 times the full load motor current;.
