Series reactors should have________________?

Correct answer: A. low resistance

  • A. low resistance
  • B. high resistance
  • C. low impedance
  • D. high impedance

Explanation

A series reactor limits fault current mainly through its inductive reactance, so it should have high impedance but very low resistance to reduce power loss. Thus low resistance is the required property.
