This paper presents the operating principle of the automatic power factor compensation controller (APFCC) by using solid state relay (SSR) which is inexpensive device and allows wireless control. For the APFCC, there are 4 levels of operation including 0.145kvar 0.290kvar 0.436kvar and 0.580kvar. In addition, the APFCC has been evaluated by supplying the different loads. In conclusion, it is clear that the power factor has been 22 percent increase in compensation. Furthermore, the wireless control testing has been executed within load panel center. It is found that the APFCC can compensate the power factor of system with reliability and be able to carry out pilot-scale test to large-scale system eventually
