Abstract

This paper presents correction of power factor and balancing of three phase unbalanced load. The analytical way of correction of power factor and balancing the three phase unbalanced delta connected load is carried out. The analytical results are compared with Matlab simulation results. Simulated results reveal that after correction of power factor and balancing of three phase unbalanced load, all three supply currents are in phase with their respective phase voltages and equal in magnitude resulting in a balanced load on supply system

Keywords
