Correct answer: C. in series with pressure coil

  • A. in series with current coil
  • B. in parallel with current coil
  • C. in series with pressure coil
  • D. in parallel with pressure coil

Explanation

The compensating coil is connected in series with the pressure coil so that its magnetic effect compensates for the pressure-coil inductance and reduces phase-angle error. It is not connected across either main coil.
