Abstract :
The paper describes a method of reactive-current compensation, employing thyristor switching of capacitor banks. The switching is timed to eliminate supply transients, and permits a change in compensation in each supply cycle. A brief description of the electronic circuitry required to implement the switching is given, together with results for both steady-state and transient operation of an experimental system.
