Abstract
A line drop compensator device for an aircraft flight line electrical distribution system has a plurality of service points connected at spaced locations along a three-phase power line and the current flow at each service point is sensed. In response to the sensed current flow, capacitance is added between the conductor lines and neutral of the power line so as to correct the voltage in proportion to the demand. Compensation is thus added proportional to the current drawn from the line.
