Drill 5-1 In example 5.1-1 of the lecture script there is an inductive load connected to the
transformer terminals. In order to drop the reactive power portion of this load add a
capacitor of C=100µF. Where to connect the capacitor as shunt (primary or secondary
side) getting the best compensation? (Do not over-compensate!)
