Abstract Voltage unbalance is regarded as a power quality problem of significant at the user application. Although the voltages are quite well balanced at the transmission system, the voltage level of utilization can be unbalanced due to the unequal system impedances and the unequal distribution of single phase loads. Capacitor is generally used for power-factor compensation and reducing harmonics of non linear load with reactor. If voltage unbalance exists, current unbalance is generated and it will be reflected in the capacity variance. When the reactor and condenser are used at the same location, generally its trouble rate is high. And it is very important checking out that how the variance of voltage, current and capacity of condenser is proceeded by the voltage unbalance. In this paper, we calculated that voltage, current and capacity of condenser are within the tolerance limit of official regulations in the event of voltage unbalance with/without reactor.
