APFCR Panels: Optimize Your Power, Maximize Your Savings

Are you facing high electricity bills, suffering from voltage instability, or being penalized by your utility provider for a poor power factor? Our advanced Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFCR) Panels are the intelligent solution designed to efficiently monitor, analyze, and correct your power factor in real-time, ensuring optimal electrical system performance and significant cost savings.

What are APFCR Panels?

APFCR Panels are sophisticated electrical systems that automatically regulate the reactive power in an AC electrical system to maintain a high power factor. Utilizing an intelligent controller and switching in/out capacitor banks, these panels compensate for the inductive loads (like motors, transformers, and fluorescent lighting) that typically cause a lagging power factor. By doing so, they reduce the total current drawn from the supply, thereby increasing energy efficiency and freeing up system capacity.

Key Features & Advanced Technology

Our APFCR Panels are engineered with precision and built for reliability, incorporating state-of-the-art components and intelligent control:

• Intelligent Microcontroller-Based Relay: The brain of the panel, offering highly accurate real-time power factor monitoring, rapid response, and intelligent step control for optimal capacitor switching. Features include automatic self-tuning, display of key electrical parameters (Voltage, Current, kW, kVAR, kVA, Power Factor), and alarm functions.
• High-Quality Capacitor Banks: Utilizes robust, heavy-duty, self-healing MPP/APP type capacitors, designed for long operational life and stable performance even under fluctuating load conditions. Options for detuned filters are available for harmonic-rich environments.
• Heavy-Duty Contactors / Thyristor Switches:
  • Contactor-Switched Panels: Ideal for stable loads, offering reliable mechanical switching with damping reactors to minimize switching transients.
  • Thyristor-Switched Panels (Dynamic PFC): For rapidly fluctuating loads (e.g., welding machines, induction furnaces), providing virtually instantaneous, transient-free switching of capacitor steps for dynamic power factor correction.
• Detuned Reactor Options: Integrated detuned reactors are available to prevent harmonic resonance and protect capacitors in systems with significant harmonic distortion, extending capacitor life and improving overall system stability.
• Robust & Ventilated Enclosure: Fabricated from high-grade CRCA steel, powder-coated for durability and corrosion resistance. Designed with adequate ventilation and cooling fans (if necessary) to maintain optimal operating temperatures for internal components.
• Comprehensive Safety & Protection: Equipped with multiple layers of protection, including: * Overcurrent / Short Circuit Protection (MCBs/MCCBs for each bank)
  • Overvoltage & Undervoltage Protection
  • Over-temperature Protection
  • Phase Loss/Reversal Protection
• User-Friendly HMI & Connectivity: Clear LCD/LED display for easy parameter viewing, status indication, and programming. Options for Modbus RTU/TCP communication for integration with SCADA or BMS systems.
• Modular & Expandable Design: Our panels are designed for easy maintenance and future expansion, allowing additional capacitor steps to be added as your load requirements grow.
