1 / 7

What is the power factor (cosθ) in relation to true power and apparent power?

D) The difference between kW and kVA

C) The ratio of kVAr to kW

B) The ratio of kW to kVA

A) The ratio of kVA to kW

Correct Answer:
B) The ratio of kW to kVA

Explanation:
The power factor (cosθ) is the ratio of true power (kW) to apparent power (kVA) and indicates how efficiently the power is being used.

Correct Answer:
B) The ratio of kW to kVA

Explanation:
The power factor (cosθ) is the ratio of true power (kW) to apparent power (kVA) and indicates how efficiently the power is being used.

What determines how reactive power (kVAr) is shared between two parallel generators?

B) The generator with the higher voltage output takes most of the reactive load

D) The system frequency alone

C) The governor settings

A) The generators’ prime mover speed

Correct Answer:
B) The generator with the higher voltage output takes most of the reactive load

Explanation:
Reactive power sharing depends on the excitation system and voltage settings of each generator. The generator with the higher excitation (voltage setting) will supply more reactive power.

Correct Answer:
B) The generator with the higher voltage output takes most of the reactive load
