Investigation of harmonics and watt loss of capacitors bank

Abstract

This paper is about measurement of watt loss present in the capacitor banks when connected to the load. The main objective of this paper is to figure out losses such as eddy current loss, problems due to harmonics present in the system because of excess capacitor banks. Several parameters such as harmonics, k-factor and power factor are analyzed with the help of power analyzer. Practical values are validated with theoretical results.
