Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. Poor voltage regulation
- B. Increased transmission losses
- C. High cost of equipment for a given load
- D. All of the above
Explanation
A low power factor requires higher current for the same useful power, causing greater transmission losses and poorer voltage regulation. It also requires conductors, transformers, and switchgear with higher ratings, increasing equipment cost.
