Series capacitors on transmission lines are of little use when the load VAR requirement is___________?
Correct answer: B. small
- A. large
- B. small
- C. fluctuating
- D. any of the above
Explanation
Series capacitors are mainly valuable for reducing transmission-line reactance and improving power transfer on heavily loaded lines. When the load VAR requirement is small, their benefit is correspondingly limited.
