The best place to install a capacitor is___________?
Correct answer: B. across the terminals of the inductive load
- A. very near to inductive load
- B. across the terminals of the inductive load
- C. far away from the inductive load
- D. any where
Explanation
A capacitor should be connected across the inductive load so it supplies the required leading reactive current locally and reduces the current drawn from the supply. Installing it near the load also minimizes reactive-current flow in the feeder, but “across the terminals” is the precise connection.
