Consider the circuit demonstrated in this weeks

Question

• Consider the circuit demonstrated in this week's presentation. Analyze the circuit to determine the following (include both polar and complex forms where applicable):

• Z_eq

• I_T

• I_R1

• I_L1

• Real Power (Watts)

• Reactive Power (VARs)

• Apparent Power (Vas)

• Power Factor

• Construct the circuit in MultiSIM and run a Single Frequency Analysis to confirm your calculations for the phasor values in part 2. Capture a screenshot of the analysis for both Magnitude/Phase (polar) and Real/Imaginary (complex). Create a table with your expected and measured results.

• Measure the real power of the circuit and the power factor using a watt meter. Capture a screenshot of the watt meter readings.

• Based upon the power factor, determine the value of the capacitors needed in each case to bring the power factor to the following values. Be sure to show your calculations.

• Power Factor = 0.85

• Power Factor = 0.95

• Power Factor = 1.00

• Insert each of the capacitor values found in step 5 into the circuit one at time and confirm the power factor correction with a watt meter. Use a 5% tolerance for the capacitors. Capture a screenshot of the watt meter for each case. Create a table of expected and measured results. Comment on how well the desired power factor was achieved and any reasons for discrepancies.
