      Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panels

      Optimize Your Energy, Minimize Your Costs.

      In today's industrial and commercial landscape, efficient power utilization is not just an advantage – it's a necessity. Inductive loads like motors, transformers, and fluorescent lighting often lead to a lagging power factor, resulting in increased energy consumption, higher electricity bills, and reduced system efficiency.

      Our Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panels are cutting-edge solutions designed to intelligently monitor and correct the power factor of your electrical system. By automatically switching capacitor banks in and out, these panels ensure your power factor remains optimal, significantly reducing energy bills, improving system efficiency, and extending the lifespan of your electrical equipment.

      Key Features:

      • Advanced Microprocessor-Based Controller:
        • Real-time power factor measurement and correction.
        • Intelligent switching logic (e.g., first-in-first-out, optimized switching).
        • Multi-stage correction (e.g., 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 steps) for precise control.
        • Auto/Manual operation modes.
        • Alarm indications for over/undervoltage, overcurrent, and capacitor bank failures.
      • High-Quality, Low-Loss Capacitors:
        • Heavy-duty, self-healing MPP (Metalized Polypropylene) or APP (All Polypropylene) capacitors.
        • Designed for long operational life and stable performance.
        • Overpressure disconnection device for safety.
      • Modular & Scalable Construction:
        • Easy to expand or modify as your power requirements change.
        • Compact design for space-saving installations.
      • Comprehensive Safety & Protection:
        • Individual capacitor bank protection (HRC fuses or MCCBs).
        • Overcurrent, overvoltage, and short-circuit protection.
        • Under-voltage release for enhanced safety.
        • Temperature control with exhaust fans for effective cooling (for higher KVAR ratings).
      • Robust Enclosure:
        • Durable, powder-coated steel sheet enclosure.
        • Suitable for indoor (IP4X, IP5X) or outdoor (IP55, IP65) applications.
        • Designed for excellent heat dissipation and harsh industrial environments.
      • User-Friendly Interface:
        • Clear LCD or LED display for real-time parameters (PF, Voltage, Current, KVAR, KWH, Harmonics).
        • Easy programming and monitoring.
      • Optional Harmonic Filtering:
        • Can be integrated with detuned reactors for systems with high harmonic distortion, protecting capacitors and improving overall power quality.
      • Remote Monitoring & Communication (Optional):
        • Modbus RTU/TCP or other communication protocols for integration into SCADA or BMS systems.

      Benefits of Installing Our APFC Panels:

      • Drastically Reduced Electricity Bills: Eliminate power factor penalties and lower demand charges from your utility provider.
      • Improved System Efficiency: Minimize transmission losses and voltage drops, ensuring stable power delivery to your equipment.
      • Extended Equipment Lifespan: Reduce stress on motors, transformers, and cables, leading to less wear and tear and lower maintenance costs.
      • Increased System Capacity: Liberate valuable electrical capacity, allowing you to add more loads without expensive infrastructure upgrades.
      • Enhanced Power Quality: Contribute to a more stable and reliable electrical grid within your facility.
      • Environmental Responsibility: Lower energy consumption translates to a reduced carbon footprint, supporting your sustainability goals.
      • Compliance & Reliability: Meet regulatory power factor standards and ensure consistent, high-quality power for critical operations.
