Microcontroller Based Automatic Power Factor Correction for Single-Phase Lagging and Leading Loads

Power Factor (PF) correction is a major power quality function in electrical distribution systems. This paper proposes a low-cost Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) system to increase the PF of both lagging and leading single-phase loads. The Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller was used to calcu...
