Electrical installation - power exchange - reactive power compensation

The simulation represents a single-phase electrical installation, supplied with 230V, comprising:
  • an electrical heater (pure resistive load);
  • an electric motor (inductive load);
  • a capacitor bank whose capacity can be adjusted, and which is used to compensate reactive power;
