In a three-phase four-wire distribution network, the load unbalance can be compensated by the use of an unbalanced three-phase reactive compensator, containing six single-phase coils and capacitors, grouped into two distinct circuits, having Yn and delta connections. In (Pană et al., 2020) is presented a method of calculating the equivalent susceptances of the six reactive elements, so that they are capacitive or null. The paper demonstrates that a power factor improvement and a total or partial balancing of an unbalanced inductive load can be achieved by using an unbalanced capacitive compensator. The calculation method can be implemented in the control system of a SVC containing only single-phase capacitor banks. In this DiB article are presented additional data and information, obtained by numerical analysis, simulation-modeling and experimental determinations performed with the purpose of validation of the calculation method proposed in (Pană et al., 2020).
