The design Power Factor (PF) of a vessel's electrical system is generally 0.8 - 0.9. The system's greatest load is inductive. One notices a slow, gradual decrease, over time, in the PF, from normal/design. What can one do on board to maintain the normal, design PF and thus maintain electrical system's efficiency? |
A) Determine that all induction motor driven pumps, fans, compressors, etc. are operating at their design capacity and design electrical load. |
B) Add capacitive load to major inductive power load consumers. |
C) Add resistive load to major inductive power load consumers. |
D) Increase the entire electrical system's frequency. |
