By the use of which of the following power factor can be improved?
Correct answer: D. Any of the above
- A. Phase advancers
- B. Synchronous compensators
- C. Static capacitors
- D. Any of the above
Explanation
Phase advancers, synchronous compensators, and static capacitors all supply or reduce the reactive power demanded by inductive loads. Each method can therefore improve power factor.
