A single-phase motor is modeled as an R-L (resistive-inductive) series load. The motor is rated for 220V, 4A, and 0.5hp. (746W = 1 hp) Determine the value of capacitance in a capacitor placed in shunt (i.e., parallel) with the motor to minimize the current provided from the 220V source at rated conditions. Then determine the source current required to feed the combined load of the motor and capacitor.
