  • Abstract
    This study explains how a Steinmetz compensator works. Past explanations are based on phasor diagrams and do not address the basic physical phenomena of electromagnetic energy flow. This paper uses the Poynting vector to detect and understand the process of compensation and restoration of symmetry in an unbalanced system.
