Abstract
A fixed capacitor-thyristor controlled reactor (FC-TCR) type of power factor compensator with thyristor-controlled series R-L load is analysed using an approximate and also a more exact circuit. The variation of power and power factor before and after compensation is examined for both cases. It is shown that considerable power factor improvement can be achieved in the circuit for low values of load thyristor firing- angle. However, for higher values of firing-angle, any improvement is obtained at the expense of additional. power losses.
