Hi again,
Say, is there anyway of calculting the current that the capacitors
actually feed to the primary coil?
I have an idea, but not certain of its accurracy...
Say if we know the capacitive reactance of a cap bank, and we know the
rms voltage they're working at, can we simply use I=V/R to work out the
current?
I'm interested to know exactly how much power (in terms of VA/Watts) is
actually going into the primary coil.
Then again, I don't think there would be a constant 'exact' figure, but
perhaps an average would do.
Thoughts, ideas etc...
thanks,
Catchya!
