APFCR Panels: Intelligent Power Factor Correction Solutions

Optimize Your Energy, Maximize Your Savings.

Are you experiencing high electricity bills due to poor power factor, reactive power charges, and inefficient energy utilization? Introducing our advanced Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFCR) Panels, meticulously engineered to intelligently monitor and correct your electrical system's power factor. By dynamically compensating for reactive power, our APFCR panels ensure optimal energy efficiency, significantly reduce utility penalties, enhance equipment longevity, and improve overall system stability.

What are APFCR Panels?

An APFCR Panel is a comprehensive, self-contained system designed to automatically improve the power factor of an electrical load. It consists of an intelligent APFCR relay, capacitor banks, power contactors, circuit breakers, and protective devices, all housed within a robust enclosure. The relay continuously measures the power factor and switches capacitor steps in and out of the circuit as required, maintaining the desired power factor automatically.

Key Features & Benefits

Our APFCR Panels are built with precision and utilize high-quality components to deliver unparalleled performance and reliability:

1. Intelligent Microprocessor-Based APFCR Relay:

• Feature: High-speed, highly accurate microprocessor control unit.
• Benefit: Provides instantaneous and precise power factor correction, preventing over-correction or under-correction, leading to stable and efficient operation. Features advanced algorithms for optimal capacitor bank switching.

2. Premium Grade Capacitors:

• Feature: Self-healing, metallized polypropylene capacitors with low losses.
• Benefit: Ensures long operational life, high reliability, and consistent performance under varying load conditions. Designed to withstand harmonics and transient voltages.

3. Heavy-Duty Capacitor Duty Contactors:

• Feature: Specifically designed for switching capacitor banks, featuring pre-insertion resistors or damping reactors.
• Benefit: Minimizes inrush currents during switching, protecting both the capacitors and the entire electrical system from harmful transients and extending the life of all components.

4. Comprehensive Protection Features:

• Feature: Integrated with multi-stage protection against overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, short circuit, and capacitor overload.
• Benefit: Ensures the safety of personnel, protects the investment in your electrical equipment, and minimizes downtime due to faults.

5. Robust & Modular Enclosure:

• Feature: Fabricated from high-grade CRCA steel, powder-coated for durability and corrosion resistance, with adequate ventilation. Available in various IP ratings (e.g., IP41, IP54) for indoor or outdoor applications.
• Benefit: Provides excellent protection against environmental factors, ensures long product life, and offers easy access for maintenance and expansion. Modular design allows for future scalability.

6. User-Friendly Interface & Monitoring:

• Feature: LCD display on the APFCR relay for real-time monitoring of power factor, voltage, current, reactive power, active power, and historical data. Easy-to-program parameters.
• Benefit: Simplifies setup, enables quick diagnostics, and provides valuable insights into your system's energy performance.

7. Optional Harmonic Filtration:

• Feature: Can be supplied with detuned reactors (APFCR with Tuned Harmonic Filters) for systems with significant harmonic distortion.
• Benefit: Protects capacitors from harmonic overloading, reduces harmonic currents in the network, and improves overall power quality in industrial environments.

8. Reduced Energy Costs:

• Feature: Actively corrects lagging power factor.
• Benefit: Eliminates or significantly reduces reactive power penalties from utilities, lowers electricity bills, and frees up capacity on your existing transformers and distribution network.

9. Enhanced Equipment Life:

• Feature: Reduces the current drawn by inductive loads.
• Benefit: Less stress on cables, transformers, and other electrical equipment, leading to reduced heat generation, fewer breakdowns, and extended operational lifespan.
