Abstract: In present technological revolution power is very precious. So we need to improve the power factor with suitable method. Whenever thinking about any programmable device then the embedded technology comes into front. Automatic power factor correction system read the angle between line voltage and line current and calculating the power factor. Then this calculated value display in 2x16 LCD module. When Power factor is not good then for improvement power factor used different capacitor bank. This is developed by using 8051 microcontroller. Automatic power factor techniques can be applied to the industries, power system and the households to make them stable and efficiency of the system as well as the apparatus increases. The use of microcontroller reduces the cost.
