This paper deals with the implementation of automatic power factor correction system using solid state switched capacitors and Arduino UNO controller. The main objectives are to reduce the line loss, to reduce reactive power flows on the line and to avoid switching surge overvoltage due to switching on/off the capacitors. This paper describes the design and simulation of power factor correction...

In recent years, a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) or Microcontroller has been widely used for implementing the digital motor control algorithm in the motor drive industry. Application spans widely from a low performance appliance AC inverter drive to a high performance servo drive. Today’s digital AC drive consists of the implementation of torque control by means of regulating the motor current...
