Question
A balanced bank of delta-connected capacitors is connected in parallel with the load described in Assessment 11.9. The effect is to place a capacitor in parallel with the load in each phase. The line voltage at the terminals of the load thus remains at 2450 V. The circuit is operating at a frequency of 60 Hz.The capacitors are adjusted so that the magnitude of the line current feeding the parallel combination of the load and capacitor bank is at its minimum. a) What is the size of each capacitor in microfarads? b) Repeat (a) for wye-connected capacitors. c) What is the magnitude of the line current?
