Abstract
A reactive current compensator for improving the power factor of a multiphase alternating current electric power circuit comprises a bank of fixed capacitors connected to multiphase line terminals in star circuit relation and two multiphase banks of fixed inductors connected to said terminals in parallel circuit relation, one inductor bank being star-connected and the other being ring connected, together with switching means responsive to a characteristic of power circuit current for controlling the magnitude of current in each phase of both inductor banks.
