Power factor of the system is kept high
| Power factor of the system is kept high
A. To reduce line losses
B. To maximize the utilization of the capacities of generators, lines and transformers
C. To reduce voltage regulation of the line
D. All of the above
Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.
Right Answer is: D
SOLUTION
The power factor is defined as the ratio of the true power to apparent power. It should be kept high for the following reasons:
1) To reduce line losses
2) To maximize the utilization of the capacities of generators, lines and transformers
3) To reduce voltage regulation of the line
