A large refrigeration plant has three compressors with synchronous motor drives and
seven compressor with squirrel cafe induction motors. One important reason for this
arrangement is

various speeds.
C) correct the overall power factor.
D) stabilize the overall plant demand factor. - ANSWER: C) correct the overall
power factor.
