Generators for peak load plants are usually designed for maximum efficiency at____________?
Correct answer: B. 50 to 75 percent full load
- A. 25 to 50 percent full load
- B. 50 to 75 percent full load
- C. full load
- D. 25 percent overload
Explanation
Peak-load generators commonly achieve maximum efficiency below full load, typically around 50 to 75 percent of rated load. They are not intended to operate continuously at full load like base-load generators.
