Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 7PP
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?
