Direct arc furnaces have which of the following power factors ?
Correct answer: B. Low, lagging
- A. Unity
- B. Low, lagging
- C. Low, leading
- D. Any of the above
Explanation
The furnace transformer and arc circuit have considerable inductive reactance, so the current lags the voltage and the power factor is low and lagging. It is not normally leading or unity.
