Compensation at power systems

Asst.Prof Süleyman Adak (suleymanadak@hotmail.com)

Asynchronous motors, transformers, ballasts and similar bobbin-rolled devices get reagent current from the networks to establish their own magnetic fields. Reagent current cables are used to establish magnetic field, which are nonoperating, cause overloading with aerial lines and voltage decrease. “Compensation” is a process that aims to decrease reagent energy at electrical facilities. Power co-efficient is generally low at industrial facilities. Low power co-efficient has many negatives results. Reagent power brings about low power co-efficient. There are three types of compensation: Independent compensation, group compensation and central compensation. At independent compensation, condensers are directly attached to load output. And at group compensation, there are more than one compensation of a motor or fluorescent light’s compensation is realized.
