Three 50 microfarad capacitors are connected wye to a 440V, 60Hz, 3 phase supply. What will be the value in microfarad in each of the three capacitors such that when connected in delta across the same supply, the line current will be the same as above?
INSTRUCTIONS:
I really need to understand this. Please follow and I'll give an upvote without any questions. Do not answer if you don't know, please I'm trying to study while working.
• If using calculator, please input at the solution. Example: "Just click at 'Mode 2 5" like that
• Always write the complete formula including derivation of the fomula
• When writing a formula, please input the exact word terminology. Example: Ia = Van/Zan where Ia is a phase A line current
• Always put explanation at the computation.
