Are you grappling with escalating electricity bills, frequent equipment malfunctions, or penalties from your utility provider? The culprit is often a poor power factor, leading to inefficient energy utilization and increased operational costs. Our Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panels are the intelligent solution, engineered to dynamically monitor and improve your power factor, ensuring optimal energy efficiency and significant cost savings.
What is an APFC Panel?
An Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) panel is an electrical system designed to improve the power factor of an electrical load. It consists of a series of capacitors and an intelligent controller that automatically switches these capacitors in and out of the circuit to compensate for the reactive power caused by inductive loads (like motors, transformers, and fluorescent lighting). By maintaining a power factor close to unity (1.0), APFC panels help your facility draw less current for the same amount of useful power.
Key Features & Advanced Technology:
Our APFC Panels are built with precision and utilize cutting-edge technology to deliver superior performance and reliability:

Optional: Harmonic overload protection and detuned/tuned filters for environments with high harmonic distortion.
Robust & Ventilated Enclosure:
IP-rated (IP41, IP54, IP55, etc., as per requirement) dust-proof and corrosion-resistant enclosures.
Efficient cooling systems (natural air ventilation / forced air cooling with fans for higher ratings) to ensure optimal operating temperature for internal components.
Modular and expandable design for future growth.
User-Friendly Interface:
Clear LCD/LED display for real-time power parameters, status indications, and alarm messages.
Easy parameter setting and configuration, often with multi-language support.
Optional Harmonic Filtration:
Available with detuned or tuned filters for industries with significant non-linear loads (VFDs, rectifiers, UPS systems).
Protects capacitors from harmonic resonance and improves overall power quality.
