In a distribution system, in order to improve power factor, the synchronous capacitors are installed__________?
Correct answer: A. at the receiving end
- A. at the receiving end
- B. at the sending end
- C. either A. or (b)
- D. none of the above
Explanation
Reactive-power compensation is most effective when installed near the receiving end or load, where it reduces the reactive current carried by the distribution system. Hence synchronous capacitors are generally installed at the receiving end.
