Question

The power factor at which transformer operates 

A.

is unity

B.

is 0.8 lag

C.

is 0.8 lead

D.

Depends upon the power factor of the load

Answer ( Option D)

Depends upon the power factor of the load

Solution

The power factor of a transformer depends on the power factor of load.

●If the transformer is supplying high loads in industries, where heavy machines (i.e., heavy induction motors) operate with lagging power, the power factor becomes lagging.

●If it is supplying lamp loads, the operating power factor will be unity.

Hence, the correct option is (D).
