In case of 3 Phase Short circuit in a system, the power fed into the system is
- A. Mostly active
- B. Mostly reactive
- C. Active only
- D. Active and reactive both
Answer: B. Mostly reactive
Explanation: During a symmetrical 3-phase fault, the short-circuit current is limited predominantly by the inductive reactances of generators, transformers, and lines (X/R >> 1), so the fault power is mostly reactive.
