This reference design demonstrates the working of various functional blocks of an automatic power factor controller (PFC) used in MV/LV electrical distribution. This includes accurate measurement and computation of voltages, currents, power and power factor, display of measured parameters using four-digit seven-segment display, alarms and status indication using LEDs, switching outputs for driving contactor or thyristor for switching capacitor banks and monitoring of local and remote temperature using a breadth of products from our portfolio.
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
