INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF RLC LOAD ON POWER FACTOR OF MICROCONTROLLER BASED POWER SYSTEM

Abstract

The research work is carried out to study and analyze the effect of impedance with varying inductance on the power factor of designed system. Eight different combination of load are taken inductance ranging from approximate value of 1232.0mH to 269.1mH keeping resistance 124 Ω and capacitance 15μF. Load voltage and current waveforms were recorded for all combinations by using Gold wave software having duration of 1s with sampling rate of 16,000. From the investigations it is observed that the amplitude of the current in the load is inversely proportional to the inductance and also the power factor is inversely proportional to it.
