Which outcome regarding power factor arises when connecting significantly long underground insulated power cables?

A)Leading power factor reduces energy loss
B)Reactive current causes increased losses
C)Harmonics injection distorts voltage waveform
D)Surge impedance loading limits reactance

💡 Explanation

Increased reactive current results in increased losses because substantial cable capacitance causes charging current to shift the power factor. Elevated reactance, not surge impedance loading, is responsible; therefore, the reactive current is the loss factor, rather than leading power benefitting.
