Moderate
Power factor of the system is kept high__________?
Correct answer: D. due to all above reasons
- A. to reduce line losses
- B. to maximise the utilization of the capacities of generators, lines and transformers
- C. to reduce voltage regulation of the line
- D. due to all above reasons
Explanation
A high power factor reduces current for a given real power, lowering line losses and voltage drop. It also makes better use of the kVA capacities of generators, transformers, and lines, so all listed reasons apply.
