APFC Panel: Optimize Your Power, Maximize Your Savings

The Smart Solution for Uninterrupted, Efficient Power

In today's energy-conscious world, inefficient power utilization leads to inflated energy bills, reduced system capacity, and premature equipment wear. Our advanced Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panels are engineered to automatically detect and correct lagging power factor in real-time, ensuring optimal energy efficiency, lower operational costs, and a more robust electrical infrastructure.

Designed for industrial, commercial, and utility applications, our APFC panels provide a proactive solution to power quality issues, helping you meet regulatory standards and achieve significant return on investment.

Key Features:

• Advanced Microprocessor-Based Controller: Intelligently monitors and reacts to load variations, switching capacitor banks on/off to maintain a target power factor (typically >0.95).
• Multi-Stage Correction: Utilizes multiple capacitor steps to provide fine-tuned, precise power factor correction, minimizing overcorrection and reactive power flow.
• Heavy-Duty, Self-Healing Capacitors: Equipped with premium, low-loss, metallized polypropylene capacitors designed for long operational life and high over-current/over-voltage capabilities, often with internal discharge resistors.
• Robust Enclosure: Constructed from high-quality CRCA steel, powder-coated for durability and corrosion resistance. Available in various IP ratings (e.g., IP42, IP54) for indoor or outdoor installations.
• Integrated Protection: Includes comprehensive safety features such as HRC fuses/MCCBs for each capacitor bank, overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection, and over/under voltage protection.
• Optional Harmonic Filtering Reactors: For environments with significant non-linear loads, we offer panels with detuned or tuned reactors to mitigate harmonic distortion and protect capacitors.
• User-Friendly Interface: Clear LCD/LED display provides real-time data on power factor, voltage, current, kVAR, kW, and kWh, along with status indicators and alarm messages.
• Modular & Expandable Design: Facilitates easy maintenance, upgrades, and expansion to accommodate future load growth.
• High-Quality Contactors/Thyristor Switches: Utilizes heavy-duty APFC-rated contactors with damping resistors for smooth switching, or high-speed thyristor switches for dynamic loads and quick response times.
• Ventilation System: Integrated fans/louvers ensure adequate cooling and prevent overheating of internal components.

Benefits of Our APFC Panels:

• Significant Energy Bill Reduction: Eliminate reactive power penalties and reduce maximum demand charges, leading to substantial cost savings.
• Increased System Capacity: Free up existing transformer and feeder capacity, allowing for additional loads without costly infrastructure upgrades.
• Improved Voltage Regulation: Stabilize system voltage, minimizing voltage drops and dips, ensuring consistent power delivery to sensitive equipment.
• Extended Equipment Lifespan: Reduce thermal stress on cables, transformers, and switchgear, prolonging their operational life and lowering maintenance costs.
• Reduced kVA Demand: Optimize your electrical infrastructure, allowing for more efficient use of your utility connection.
• Enhanced Power Quality: Contributes to a stable and reliable power supply, preventing power quality-related issues and downtime.
• Environmental Responsibility: Lower energy consumption translates to a reduced carbon footprint, supporting your sustainability goals.
• Compliance with Regulations: Meet utility power factor regulations and avoid potential fines.
