Question

In case of voltage control of a power system network, for the same voltage both the reactive power capacity of a shunt capacitor is _____ that of a series capacitor.

• A. Smaller than
• B. Higher than
• C. 0.75 times
• D. Equal to

Hint:

Shunt capacitors are more effective for voltage control than series capacitors at the same voltage.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Shunt capacitors provide more reactive power support at the same voltage level compared to series capacitors. This is because shunt capacitors are connected across the line and directly influence the voltage profile.
