Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 2PA
You are working in an industrial plant. You have been instructed to double the capacitance connected to a machine. The markings on the capacitor, however, are not visible. The capacitor is connected to 560 volts and an ammeter indicates a current of 6 amperes flowing to the capacitor. What size capacitor should be connected in parallel with the existing capacitor? What is the minimum AC voltage rating of the new capacitor? What is the minimum DC voltage rating of the new capacitor? What is the minimum KVAR size that can be used in this installation?

Cable A
Cable A is a coaxial cable of constant cross section. The metal
regions are shaded in grey and are made of copper. The solid central
wire has radius a = 5mm, the outer tube inner radius b = 20mm and
thickness t = 5mm. The dielectric spacer is Teflon, of relative
permittivity &r = 2.1 and breakdown strength 350kV/cm. A potential
difference of 1kV is applied across the conductors, with centre
conductor positive and outer conductor earthed.
Before undertaking any COMSOL simulations we'll first perform some theoretical analysis
of Cable A based on the EN2076 lectures, to make sense of the simulations. Calculate the
radial electric field of cable A at radial positions r b. Also calculate the
maximum operating voltage of cable A, assuming a safety margin of ×2, and indicate where
on the cable's cross section dielectric breakdown is most likely to occur.
