Activity 1: You are examining a series RLC load driven by a 50-Hz, 230-Vac (RMS) source. R= 12 Q2, L = 62 mH, C = 3 mF. Stage I: At the beginning, you calculated the input impedance seen by the source, and the current drawn from the source. You also completed all power calculations (real power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor, power triangle...). Suggest the gauge of your wiring (AWG specifications) at each branch in your circuit. Stage II: you noticed that the power factor is very low, and decided to reduce the current drawn from the source by connecting a 150-μF capacitor in parallel (Cp) to the load. Did it work? Explain thoroughly and show all power calculations. Suggest the gauge of your wiring (AWG specifications) at each branch in your circuit. Stage III: since you did not achieve a unity power factor, you adjusted the parallel capacitor so that a unity power factor is obtained. Show all calculations, analysis details, and findings, including power analysis. Suggest the gauge of your wiring (AWG specifications) at each branch in your circuit.
