The current drawn by the line due to corona losses is___________?
Correct answer: A. non-sinusoidal
- A. non-sinusoidal
- B. sinusoidal
- C. triangular
- D. square
Explanation
Corona produces sharp current pulses as the surrounding air repeatedly ionises, so the resulting line current is non-sinusoidal rather than a smooth sine wave.
