Question

Capacitors and Reactors are used in transmission systems to control voltage as given below. Select the correct choice : 

A.

Series capacitors and shunt reactors for leading power factors 

B.

Shunt capacitors when - power factors leading and series reactors when power factor lagging. 

C.

Shunt capacitors when power factors lagging and series reactors when power factors is leading 

D.

Shunt capacitors and series reactors for leading power factors

Answer ( Option C)

Shunt capacitors when power factors lagging and series reactors when power factors is leading 

Solution

Shunt capacitor : The magnitude of voltage at the bus is less than the required magnitude then the shunt capacitor is connected. It's use in power factor Improvement.

Shunt reactor : The magnitude of voltage at the bus is more than the required magnitude (i.e. mean Ferranti effect) then the shunt reactor is connected in transmission line.

Series Reactor : Series reactor are connected to the system in series they are normally used to limit the fault current in the system or to facilitate proper load sharing in a parallel power network.
