It can be continuous or continuing.
They are continuous.

It is continuous.
Mountains are continuous.
For a continuous load the circuit breaker is set 25% higher than the load current. So a 20-amp breaker is used with a continuous 16-amp load.
A continuous load is a constant load. A noncontinuous load is one that varies over time.
If you have a measured continuous load of say 80 Amps, you would want to have a panel rated at 100 A. For continuous load you want to be at 80% of rated capacity.
You should not exceed 80% of the breaker rating for a continuous load. Therefore, the continuous load should not exceed 16 amps.
The NEC defines a continuous load as that which may run for three hours or more. Examples of these are: electric heat, water heaters, AC units, and even lighting circuits.
Is a load(appliance) that runs at max current for 3 hours or more at a time.
A continuous load is a constant load. A noncontinuous load is one that varies over time.
That depends on the direction in wich you apply the load. If the Load is applied in the direction of the lenght of the continuous fibre this is definitely the case. However if the load is applied perpendicular on the fibre direction of the continuous fibre the CSM will be the one with the higher strenght of the two.
As stated in the electrical code, circuits are to be loaded to 80 percent of the total capacity when operating in a continuous state..
Any continuous load shouldn't exceed the rated capacity of the transformer, expressed in volt amperes.
