← TechnologyWithin a three-phase power transformer, which consequence results when an inductive load causes a leading power factor correction circuit to switch inappropriately?
A)Voltage overshoot and oscillations occur✓
B)Harmonic distortion remains uncorrected
C)Transformer core saturation decreases negligibly
D)Balanced line current profile remains
💡 Explanation
Voltage overshoot happens because the leading power factor circuit introduces excessive capacitance during light inductive loads, causing resonant behavior therefore voltage oscillations appear rather than stable compensation intended at near-unity power.
