why the current leads voltage in the case of a capasitor

Answer Posted / tarun aggarwal

if we say voltage at any instant is at time t

v = Vsin(wt + @ )

and we know in case of capictor
Ic = C * dv/dt

Ic = C*( Vcos(wt + @) )*w

Ic =c*w *(sint(wt + @ + 90) )
this clearly show that current leads voltage

also in case of capacitor .it start charging from zero to
full voltage while current is there to charge it which also
is physical interpretation of leading curent

We have a distribution transformer of 750KVA/11kv/440v and an AVR (Servo Stabilizer) of 750KVA on the LT side of distribution transformer. Also we have an ACB of 1200A on the output of distribution transformer (that is on the input of AVR). We want to have an MCCB on the output of AVR. What should be the rating?
