An induction motor has relatively high power factor at__________?
Correct answer: D. near full load
- A. rated r.p.m.
- B. no load
- C. 20 percent load
- D. near full load
Explanation
An induction motor draws substantial magnetising current at light load, giving a poor power factor. Its power factor improves as load increases and is highest near full load.
