In solving this problem it seems the assumption that the NCEES solution is making is that the capacitor will not discharge during the second half the cycle? ...it's that simple right, the capacitor discharge will not materially affect the capacitor voltage in the second half cycle?

I am having the same problems with problems #518 and #519 of the 2000 NCEES Geotech Afternoon problems. I can not find anything on caissons. Can anyone help?

I have a similar question. In the NCEES solution I follow the per phase conversion to calculate Van but what I'm missing is the conversion from 12.5/1.73 angle 0 to 12.5/1.73 and -30. The -30 is confusing me because I worked it with a +30.(obviously got it wrong) Can anyone explain why it was...
