Abstract:
Fluctuating active power can affect the quality of light on the lamp, so to maintain
more stable active power needed by capacitors, this research shows the role of
capacitors in maintaining the power quality. The results of this study indicate that
the current at the start when not using a capacitor tends to be closer to the
maximum run-up of the lamp current of 6 amperes (according to the standard
Philips Lighting HPI-T lamp at start). While the current at the start tends to be
30% more stable compared to when not using capacitors. Active power greatly
affects the quality of light, this is evidenced at the time of measurement and
calculation of the quality of light relative to the active movement of power.
