1 Unit 21 Capacitance in AC Circuits

2 Objectives: Explain why current appears to flow through a capacitor in an AC circuit. Discuss capacitive reactance. Discuss the relationship of voltage and current in a pure capacitive circuit.

3 Capacitive Reactance Countervoltage limits the flow of current.

4 Capacitors appear to pass alternating current (AC). This is due to the capacitor charging for half of the cycle and discharging for half of the cycle. This repetitive charging and discharging allows current to flow in the circuit.

5 Capacitive Reactance Capacitive reactance opposes the flow of electricity in a capacitor circuit. Capacitive reactance (X C ) is measured in ohms (Ω). X C = 1 /(2 fc) f = frequency C = capacitance

6 Phase Relationships Capacitive current leads the applied voltage by 90. Inductive current lags the applied voltage by 90. Resistive current is in phase with the applied voltage by 90.

7 Capacitive current leads the applied voltage by 90.

8 Power Relationships Capacitive power is measured in VARs C. Capacitive VARs C and inductive VARs L are 180 out of phase with each other. Capacitive VARs C and inductive VARs L cancel each other.

9 Capacitive power phase relationships.

10 Inductive VARs and Capacitive VARs.

11 Frequency Relationships Capacitive reactance (X C ) is inversely proportional to frequency (f). As frequency increases then capacitive reactance decreases. As frequency decreases then capacitive reactance increases.

12 E T = 480 V C 1 = 10 µf C 2 = 30 µf C 3 = 15 µf Solving a sample series capacitor circuit: Three capacitors (10µF, 30 µf, and 15 µf) are series connected to a 480-V, 60-Hz power source.

13 E T = 480 V C 1 = 10 µf X C1 = 265 Ω C 2 = 30 µf C 3 = 15 µf First, calculate each capacitance reactance. Remember (X C ) = 1/(2пFC) and 2пF = 377 at 60 Hz.

14 E T = 480 V C 1 = 10 µf X C1 = 265 Ω C 2 = 30 µf X C2 = 88 Ω C 3 = 15 µf X C3 = 177 Ω X C1 = 1/ (377 x ) = Ω X C2 = 1/ (377 x ) = Ω X C3 = 1/ (377 x ) = Ω

15 E T = 480 V X CT = Ω C 1 = 10 µf X C1 = 265 Ω C 2 = 30 µf X C2 = 88 Ω C 3 = 15 µf X C3 = 177 Ω Next, find the total capacitive reactance. X CT = X C1 + X C2 + X C3 X CT = = Ω

16 E T = 480 V X CT = Ω I T = A C 1 = 10 µf X C1 = 265 Ω E C1 =? C 2 = 30 µf X C2 = 88 Ω E C2 =? C 3 = 15 µf X C3 = 177 Ω E C3 =? Next, calculate the total current. I T = E CT / X CT I T = 480 V / Ω = A

17 E T = 480 V X CT = Ω I T = A C 1 = 10 µf X C1 = 265 Ω I 1 =.905 A E C1 =? C 2 = 30 µf X C2 = 88 Ω I 2 =.905 A E C2 =? C 3 = 15 µf X C3 = 177 Ω I 3 =.905 A E C3 =? Next, calculate the component voltage drops. The total current flows through each component. E C = I T x X C

18 E T = 480 V X CT = Ω I T = A C 1 = 10 µf X C1 = 265 Ω I 1 =.905 A E C1 = 240 V C 2 = 30 µf X C2 = 88 Ω I 2 =.905 A E C2 = 80 V C 3 = 15 µf X C3 = 177 Ω I 3 =.905 A E C3 = 160 V E C1 =.905 x = V E C2 =.905 x = V E C3 =.905 x = V

35 Review: Unit 21 Capacitance in AC Circuits 1. Current appears to flow through a capacitor in an AC circuit. 2. A capacitor appears to allow current flow because of the periodic rise and fall of voltage and current. 3. Current flow in a pure capacitive circuit is only limited by capacitive reactance.

36 Review: 4. Capacitive reactance is proportional to the capacitance and frequency. 5. Capacitive reactance is measured in ohms. 6. Current flow in a pure capacitive circuit leads the voltage by 90.

37 Review: 7. In a pure capacitive circuit, there is no true power (watts). 8. Capacitive power is reactive and is measured in VARs, as is inductance. 9. Capacitive and inductive VARs are 180 out of phase with each other.
