Microcontroller based power factor controller

The power factor controller (PFC) prototype will incorporate the following features: a. Switching capacitors sized in binary ratio to compensate power of varying loads. b. Zero crossing detection circuit to prevent transient circuit effects. c. A circuit that quickly measures the load current and lo...
