Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The largest electrical load in an air-conditioning or refrigeration system.

Explanation of Solution

An air-conditioning or refrigeration system consists of following electrical components:

  1. 1. Compressor
  2. 2. Evaporator fan motor
  3. 3. Condenser fan motor
  4. 4. Relay coil

Among the above said components, compressor is the largest electrical load. Because the compressor requires large electricity for its operation. The compressor is a device that works on high pressures (the pressure above the atmosphere).

Thus, the correct answer is “option c. compressor”.
