Abstract

Ccorrection of power factor is a method of converting the unwanted result of power-driven loads that cause unity power factor.MCB manufacture plant requires correction of power factor with automatic switching ability owing to dynamic load. Rectification of power factor might be smeared moreover by an electrical energy conduction utility to enhance the proficiency of power system. Herein work of power factor the source link remains unswervingly supervised via the Energy Meter which is linked now corresponding towards the source link. A change in the capacitor bank is essential aimed at modifying the deviation in power factor. The individual capacity Capacitor bank started through PLC, which sets the bank of capacitor corresponding toward load capacity and thus carrying power factor near to one/unity automatically without human intervention. In line with electricity board rules the decisions with respect to RKVAH components have been designed in this work.
