Hi All,
I come across this problem for my assignment which is a bit different from the ones I used to deal with,
I have a 130uF Capacitor in series with the mains (230V @ 50Hz) to feed a 32Ohm resistor with a voltage 160V and a current of 5Amps.
This circuit has a PFC of 44 and draws 7.8Amps from the mains because of the reactive power. I am asked to find a way to correct the power factor, so that my load is now only 3.5Amps.
How can I solve this problem?
Many Thanks
