Hey.
If a a circuit is too inductive, and has a power factor of 0.6, how would i find a capacitor in series or parallel that would give a power factor of 0.8?
I think that i could do it with 3 equations and 3 unkowns like this:
1: Q=XL*I^2
Z=X*I^2
2: tan(P/Q)=[itex]\varphi[/itex]
tan(P/Z)=Y
3: cos(Y)=0.8
Then solve for X and Y and Z?
Please help.
