10. AUTOMATIC POWER FACTOR CORRECTION USING CAPACITIVE BANK

The power factor correction of electrical loads is a problem common to all industrial companies. Earlier the power factor correction was done by adjusting the capacitive bank manually [1]. The computerized power factor corrector (APFC) utilizing capacitive burden bank is useful in giving the force factor revision. Proposed computerized project includes estimating the force factor esteem from the heap utilizing microcontroller. The design of this auto -adjustable power factor correction is to ensure the entire power system always preserving unity power factor. The software and hardware required to implement the suggested automatic power factor correction scheme are explained and its operation is described. APFC thus helps us to decrease the time taken to correct the power factor which helps to increase
