The correction of power factor of electric load could be a problematic issue which is common to entire industrial companies. Previously, the correction of power factor was performed to adjust bank of electrical phenomenon properly. Automatic power factor corrector (APFC) utilize load capacitance bank is useful to implement facility issue correction. Planned machinecontrolled project consists of activity that is worth the correction of power factor of load victimization microcontroller. Design of this self-adjusting power issue correction is to confirm the complete facility perpetually protective unit power issue. A package as well as hardware needed to perform instructed automatic measure devoted as well as its operation described. APFC, therefore help us to reduce the time needed to correct as a power factor that support to extend organization Keywords— APFC, Apparent power, Capacitor bank, Power factor, power factor, solid state relay, precision rectifier, super diode, phase measurement, AC signal measurement, Arduino
