Advanced Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Capacitor Panel
Optimize Your Power, Slash Energy Costs, and Enhance System Efficiency
In today's energy-conscious industrial and commercial landscape, maintaining an optimal power factor is crucial. Our Advanced Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Capacitor Panels are engineered to deliver unparalleled energy savings, improve power quality, and significantly extend the lifespan of your electrical equipment. By dynamically compensating for reactive power, our panels ensure your facility operates at peak electrical efficiency, avoiding penalties and maximizing your investment.
Key Features & Components
Our APFC Capacitor Panels are built with precision and durability, incorporating high-quality components for reliable and long-lasting performance:
Intelligent APFC Controller:
Microprocessor-based, highly accurate, and responsive for real-time power factor measurement and correction.
Automatic step switching (programmable) to connect/disconnect capacitor banks based on load variations.
User-friendly interface with LCD/LED display for monitoring power factor, voltage, current, kVAR, kWh, and alarm status.
Advanced features like auto-setting, over/under voltage protection, harmonic monitoring, and programmable switching delays.
High-Quality Power Capacitors:
Heavy-duty, self-healing, metallized polypropylene film capacitors.
Low losses, long operational life, and excellent thermal stability.
Available in various ratings (kVAR) and voltage levels to suit specific application requirements.
Internal pressure disconnector for enhanced safety.
Capacitor Duty Contactors:
Specifically designed for switching capacitor banks, featuring damping resistors to limit inrush currents.
Ensures smooth and reliable connection/disconnection, minimizing stress on the capacitors and the power system.
Comprehensive Protection Devices:
Input Main Protection: High Rupturing Capacity (HRC) fuses or Moulded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) for main incoming supply.
Individual Step Protection: HRC fuses or Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) for each capacitor bank.
Overcurrent, Overvoltage, Undervoltage, & Short-Circuit Protection: Integrated into the controller and panel design.
Thermal Protection: Adequate ventilation and optional cooling fans prevent overheating.
Robust Enclosure:
Fabricated from heavy-gauge CRCA steel, powder-coated for corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.
Modular and expandable design for easy maintenance and future upgrades.
Excellent ventilation (louvers, cooling fans) to dissipate heat efficiently.
High IP rating (e.g., IP41, IP54) for dust and splash protection, suitable for various industrial environments.
Gland plates for secure cable entry.
Copper Busbar System:
High-conductivity, adequately sized copper busbars for minimal power losses and efficient current distribution.
Color-coded for easy identification and safety.
Optional Harmonic Filtering (Detuned Reactors):
For applications with significant harmonic distortion (e.g., VFDs, rectifiers, UPS systems), detuned reactors can be integrated.
Protects capacitors from harmonic overloads and prevents resonance, ensuring stable and reliable operation.
