Question

If the power factor reduces to half, the kVA rating of the transformer will _________________.

not be affected

be decreased to half

be increased to double​

Answer 1

Answer:

be increased to double

Explanation:

A lower power factor causes a higher current flow for a given load. As the line current increases, the voltage drop in the conductor increases, which may result in a lower voltage at the equipment. With an improved power factor, the voltage drop in the conductor is reduced, improving the voltage at the equipment.
