In the present work, a power factor (PF) calculation tool for single-phase electric networks is shown. This tool is made in Matlab and Simulink; it contains several useful functions such as the condenser code to achieve the desired result, from the measured value to the unit. It is also possible to visualize the voltage and current phase shift when the system is in the compensation system and its decrease as the PF approaches the unit. On the other hand, it is worth noting the decrease in current by the increase of the PF or compensation. All benefits can be seen graphically for a better understanding of possible compensation solutions.
