Abstract

This report is written to reduce the additional charge that will be incurred if the power factor value is below 0.85. This also involves the duration of electrical equipment to survive if the power factor value is not within the range of 0.85 to 1. Additionally, the power factor values that do not reach the standard limit will cause the wires connected to the load to be overheated. This will cause short circuit and fire will occur. Furthermore, the value of nonstandard power factor causes a factory or building that has a load like induction motor will require a lot of power and will cause the electricity bill to rise and not efficiently. This project will help display the capacitor values that need to be used to repair power factor based on the value of current and voltage readings. This calculation will be performed by Arduino UNO which has been pre-emitted and displays the capacitor value on the LCD.
