APFC Panel

Automatic Power Factor Correction panel

Power factor correction (PFC) panels are designed to enhance the power factor in electrical systems, leading to increased energy efficiency and cost savings. The power factor measures the ratio of active power (used to perform work) to apparent power (total power supplied), serving as a crucial indicator of electrical consumption effectiveness.

    Key benefits of PFC panels include:

  • Reduction of poor power factor penalties on utility bills by maintaining an optimal power factor.
  • Improved voltage stability and support, which protects equipment and reduces maintenance.
  • Release of additional system capacity by minimizing reactive power, allowing better utilization of existing infrastructure without costly upgrades.
  • Enhanced equipment lifespan through reduced stress and overheating.
  • Decreased system losses due to reduced currents, enhancing overall system efficiency.
  • Environmental benefits via lower energy wastage and reduced carbon footprint.

  • Salient Features

  • Consistency in Power Factor under fluctuating load conditions.
  • Maintenance Free
  • Elimination of Power factor penalty
  • Prevention of leading power factor
