Abstract
A phase correction apparatus includes an inductor joined to a series capacitor to produce phase-corrected output having a load voltage and a load current. A phase detector is joined to the series capacitor and has a phase angle output proportional to a phase angle between the voltage and current. Logic circuitry or a processor is joined to receive the phase angle output and provide switch control value outputs to switches connected to the logic circuitry. A bank of parallel capacitors are joined to the switches. The switch control value outputs activate joined parallel capacitors to adjust reactance provided to the phase-corrected output to produce an adjusted output. In a further embodiment parallel capacitors are iterated to produce the adjusted output.
