Automatic Power Factor Control (APFC) Panels: Smart Energy Optimization for Industrial & Commercial Applications
Are you grappling with high electricity bills, poor voltage stability, or penalties from your utility provider due to low power factor? Our Automatic Power Factor Control (APFC) Panels are engineered to be the intelligent solution for modern energy management, ensuring your electrical system operates at peak efficiency.
An APFC panel automatically monitors and corrects the power factor of your electrical load, maintaining it close to unity (or a desired target, typically >0.95). By intelligently switching capacitor banks in and out of your system, it compensates for reactive power, leading to significant cost savings, improved system performance, and a reduced environmental footprint.
Key Features & Technologies
Our APFC Panels are built with precision and durability, incorporating advanced features for reliable and efficient operation:
Intelligent Microprocessor-Based Controller:
Continuously monitors power factor, voltage, current, and harmonics.
Self-optimizing algorithm for precise and rapid power factor correction.
Multi-stage switching for fine-tuned correction.
User-friendly HMI/LCD display for real-time data and configuration.
Alarm functions for over/under voltage, overcurrent, over-temperature, and capacitor failure.
High-Quality Capacitor Banks:
Utilizes heavy-duty, self-healing, low-loss capacitors (e.g., MPP, APP, Dry-Type Resin Filled) designed for extended lifespan.
Option for de-tuned or harmonic-tolerant capacitors suitable for non-linear load environments.
Individually fused for protection and easy maintenance.
Robust Switching Contactors:
Specifically designed for capacitor switching, featuring pre-insertion resistors to mitigate inrush currents and prolong contactor and capacitor life.
Comprehensive Protection Features:
Overcurrent protection for each capacitor step (HRC fuses/MCBs).
Over/Under voltage protection.
Short-circuit protection.
Over-temperature protection for the panel enclosure.
Durable & Safe Enclosure:
Fabricated from robust CRCA steel, powder-coated for corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.
High IP rating (e.g., IP4X, IP54) for dust and splash protection.
Adequate ventilation for thermal management.
Segregated compartments for safety and ease of access.
Modular & Expandable Design:
Designed for easy expansion or customization to meet evolving load requirements.
Current Transformers (CTs): High-accuracy CTs for precise current measurement and power factor calculation.
Optional Communication Interfaces: Modbus RTU/TCP for seamless integration with SCADA, BMS, or energy management systems.
