← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an air conditioning compressor cycles on?
A)Temporary voltage dip on the circuit✓
B)Increased power factor at breaker
C)Harmonic resonance into backup generator
D)Improved efficiency refrigerant cooling gain
💡 Explanation
A significant inrush current occurs due to locked rotor startup. Electromagnets cause sudden demand activating in phases rather than continuously because inductive reactance is briefly overwhelmed, therefore voltage dips rather than steady or efficient operation resulting from the transient startup.
