Lisa, carga/load here is the generic term for any device that consumes power in the circuit/system. These loads could be, for example, electric heaters, air conditioning systems...

neutral  philgoddard: I've never seen it used in this context (though that's probably my ignorance) - I think we need a plain-English solution.

  -> Please see the references above. Many thanks.

agree  Jennifer Levey: Correct. 'intercontectar mandos/cargas a distancia mediante radiofrecuencia' --> (inter)connect controls to remote loads via radio waves. It's very basic radio-control stuff.
