Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panel
Optimize Your Energy, Maximize Your Savings.
Are you experiencing inflated electricity bills, inefficient power utilization, or penalties due to poor power factor? Our advanced Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panels are the intelligent solution designed to eliminate reactive power, reduce energy costs, enhance the overall efficiency of your electrical system, and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
The APFC Panel is a crucial component in any facility aiming for peak energy performance and significant operational savings. It continuously monitors the electrical load and dynamically switches capacitor banks in or out to maintain the power factor close to unity (ideally 0.99 lagging), ensuring your system operates at its most efficient.
š Key Features & Components:
Intelligent Microprocessor-Based Controller:
State-of-the-art controller with user-friendly HMI (Human Machine Interface) for real-time monitoring and parameter adjustments.
Automatic sensing and precise switching of capacitor stages.
Programmable target power factor, switching delays, and alarm settings.
Optional communication protocols (Modbus RTU, Ethernet) for integration with BMS/SCADA systems.
High-Quality Power Capacitors:
Heavy-duty, self-healing, metalized polypropylene (MPP) or All-Polypropylene (APP) film capacitors.
Low losses, long operational life, and excellent thermal stability.
Dry-type or oil-filled options available, conforming to IEC/IS standards.
Internal pressure disconnector and discharge resistors for safety.
Heavy-Duty Capacitor Duty Contactors:
Specifically designed for capacitor switching, featuring pre-insertion resistors to limit inrush currents and enhance contactor/capacitor lifespan.
Robust construction for frequent switching operations.
Reliable Switchgear & Protection:
Individual circuit breakers (MCBs) or HRC fuses for each capacitor bank for overload and short-circuit protection.
Main incoming switch-disconnector or MCCB for overall panel isolation and protection.
Overcurrent, overvoltage, and undervoltage protection integrated into the controller.
Detuned Harmonic Filter Reactors (Optional):
For environments with significant harmonic distortion, we offer APFC panels with detuned reactors to protect capacitors from harmonic resonance and further improve power quality.
Robust Enclosure:
Durable, powder-coated CRCA steel construction suitable for indoor or outdoor installations.
High IP rating (e.g., IP4X, IP54, IP65) for protection against dust and water ingress.
Optimal ventilation system (natural or forced air cooling for higher ratings) to ensure component longevity.
Ample space for easy maintenance and future expansion.
Comprehensive Metering:
Integrated digital multi-function meter for displaying voltage, current, active power, reactive power, apparent power, frequency, and current power factor.
Modular Design:
Scalable and expandable, allowing for future additions of capacitor steps as your load requirements change.
