Effect of terminal capacitance on the supply current distortion factor

Abstract The effect of capacitance compensation of non-linear loads is considered on the displacement factor (DIPF), distortion factor (DISF), and power factor. Optimization of the DIPF is found to result in reduction of the DISF to a minimum value.
