    How to Calculate the Value of a Capacitor for Power Factor Correction

    Sorry! That's the total current value. BUT while I was typing it here i realized I did something wrong...again :frown: so what I put here is my new value. I used I = P/Vcosø = 22000/(22 x 0.8) = 1250 A So here are all the calculations based on this value (1250 A)...

    How to Calculate the Value of a Capacitor for Power Factor Correction

    Thanks for replying :) I did over the calculations and got 100 A as the current. I also drew a current triangle and managed to get IL as 80 A and Ic as 60 A. This is where I realized that what I actually need (well what i think I need) is the phasor current of IL. What I learned was...

    Engineering Do you have to refer core losses in equivalent circuit?

    Hi, I'm currently writing a lab report on single phase transformers and I need to determine the equivalent circuit with respect to the secondary side. I have already found the parameters with respect to the primary side so it is just a matter of referring them to the secondary side. What I would...
