  • In the case of the leading power factor, the terminal voltage of the alternator will Rise on removing the full load.
  • In the case of a leading power factor, the current flowing through the load is leading the voltage waveform.
  • This means that the current is reaching its peak before the voltage waveform reaches its peak.
  • This results in a portion of the current waveform that is flowing in the opposite direction of the voltage waveform.
  • When the load is removed, the current through the alternator becomes zero, and hence, the voltage waveform is no longer distorted by the leading current.
  • As a result, the voltage waveform will rise slightly when the full load is removed.
  • However, the amount of voltage rise depends on the design of the alternator and the characteristics of the load.
