Answers
Answer: I guess it's option 2
That's my answer
Answer:
The correct option
Explanation:
The correct option would be :-
Option 4 Series Reactor :- Explanation:
1)A booster is a series-wound generator that is inserted into the circuit to increase the DC voltage level so that the excessive voltage drop in the feeder can be compensated.
2)A booster may be defined as a dynamo-electric machine, the armature of which is connected in series with a circuit. its generated e.m.f. being added to or subtracted from that of the circuit pending upon the polarity of its excitation.
3)Boosters may be driven by any form of a prime mover but are generally direct-connected to a motor taking current from constant-potential means.
4)The primary use of a booster is to raise the voltage of a generator or of a section of the bus bars of a central station by an amount sufficient to compensate the ohmic drop in a feeder supplying distant load. in case the load is of such character as to require the same voltage as receiving devices at or near the source of supply
