Poor power factor________?
Correct answer: E. results in all above
- A. reduces load handling capability of electrical system
- B. results in more power losses in the electrical system
- C. overloads alternators, transformers and distribution lines
- D. results in more voltage drop in the line
- E. results in all above
Explanation
A poor power factor requires higher current for the same useful power, causing greater losses, voltage drop, and loading of alternators, transformers, and lines. Thus every listed effect occurs.
