← TechnologyWhich outcome results when excessive reactive power distorts power transformer voltage?
A)Decreased active power transfer✓
B)Increased transformer core saturation
C)Harmonic current magnitude reduction
D)Improved power system stability
💡 Explanation
Decreased active power transfer happens because increased reactive power causes poor power factor, initiating significant voltage drops across the transformer's impedance; therefore, real power delivery capacity declines rather than maintaining stability, or improving efficiency in balanced systems.
