Series capacitors are used to_________________?
Correct answer: A. compensate for line inductive reactance
- A. compensate for line inductive reactance
- B. compensate for line capacitive reactance
- C. improve line voltage
- D. none of the above
Explanation
A series capacitor supplies capacitive reactance in series with the line, thereby cancelling part of the line's inductive reactance. This reduces the effective reactance and increases power-transfer capability.
