Tips and tricks

  1. You may use a TRIAC to control the current in the capacitor to improve PF in the system. A soft PF controller.
  2. Add a simple power diode (exp. 1N4007) in series at the input side of your LED driver. It will give a better durability to your driver.
  3. To get better output results of KVL and KCL of AC circuits, please check the frequency response of the inductor at first, whether it retains the input sine wave perfectly or not.
  4. To measure single phase power factor with a three phase power factor meter, you may connect it to measure line to neutral voltage and line current. However it will give you the reactive factor. From reactive factor you may calculate power factor.
  5. There are some important points to design a power transformer up to kVA rating. You may ask for design idea.
