A pure capacitive circuit is connected to a 480-volt, 60-Hz power source. An ammeter indicates a current flow of 24 amperes. The circuit current must be reduced to 16 amperes by connecting a second capacitor in series with the first. What is the value of the existing capacitor? What value capacitor should be connected in series with the original capacitor to limit the circuit current to 16 amperes?
You find that a 25-F capacitor connected to 480 VAC is defective. The storeroom has no capacitors with a 480-VAC rating. However, you find two capacitors rated at 50 F and 370 VAC. Can these two capacitors be connected in such a manner that they can replace the defective capacitor? If yes, explain how they are connected and why the capacitors will not be damaged by the lower voltage rating. If no, explain why they cannot be used without damaging the capacitor.
