Abstract
The evaluation of the effectiveness of an in situ reactive power compensator is not an obvious process. The guidelines available refer to complicated analysis and measurement by power analyzers and other expensive apparatus. This paper describes an economical microprocessor-based instrument that evaluates any reactive power compensator; a numerical figure of merit is presented. The results of measurements obtained from a few typical compensator configurations are presented
