Single Phase Power Factor Correction Panel
Boost Efficiency & Cut Costs with Our Single Phase Power Factor Correction Panel!
Are you a small business owner, workshop manager, or homeowner with significant inductive loads struggling with high electricity bills and inefficient power usage? Our Single Phase Power Factor Correction Panel is the intelligent solution designed to optimize your electrical system, reduce energy waste, and significantly lower your operating costs.
Low power factor, often caused by inductive loads like motors, compressors, welders, and fluorescent lighting, can lead to increased energy consumption, system inefficiencies, and even penalties from your utility provider. Our compact and robust panel actively counteracts these effects, ensuring your system operates at peak efficiency.
Key Features:
- High-Quality Capacitors: Utilizes premium, self-healing, low-loss metallized polypropylene film capacitors for superior performance and extended lifespan.
- Robust Enclosure: Housed in a durable, powder-coated sheet steel enclosure (typically IP41 or IP54 rated) for protection against dust and splashes, suitable for various indoor environments.
- Integrated Protection: Equipped with internal fuses or miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) for overcurrent protection, ensuring safety and reliability.
- Fixed or Stepped Correction: Available in fixed kVAR ratings or with simple manual/semi-automatic stepping options to match your specific load requirements.
- Visual Indicators: Features LED indicators for power ON and capacitor bank status, allowing for easy monitoring.
- Compact Design: Space-saving design for easy wall-mounting or installation in tight spaces.
- Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward installation by a qualified electrician.
- Naturally Air-Cooled: Efficient heat dissipation without the need for additional cooling systems.
Core Benefits:
- Reduced Electricity Bills: Eliminate power factor penalties and pay only for the real power you consume, leading to significant monthly savings.
- Improved System Efficiency: Less reactive power circulating means less energy wasted, freeing up capacity on your existing electrical infrastructure.
- Increased System Capacity: Correcting power factor frees up current-carrying capacity in transformers, cables, and switchgear, allowing for potential expansion without costly upgrades.
- Extended Equipment Life: Reduced current loading and lower operating temperatures lead to less stress on motors, transformers, and other electrical equipment, extending their operational lifespan.
- Reduced Carbon Footprint: By consuming energy more efficiently, you contribute to a greener environment and reduce your overall carbon emissions.
- Enhanced Voltage Stability: Helps to stabilize voltage levels, particularly at the end of long distribution lines, improving the performance of sensitive equipment.
Ideal Applications:
Our Single Phase Power Factor Correction Panel is perfect for any single-phase electrical system with a notable presence of inductive loads, including:
- Small Workshops & Garages: Powering lathes, drills, grinders, welders, and air compressors.
- Residential Properties: Homes with large HVAC units, pool pumps, well pumps, or other motor-driven appliances.
- Agricultural Settings: Irrigation pumps, feed mixers, and other farm machinery.
- Small Offices & Retail: Systems with significant fluorescent lighting, refrigeration units, or display coolers.
- Educational Institutions: Labs and practical training areas with various inductive loads.

- Capacitor Type: Dry-type, self-healing, metallized polypropylene film
- Capacitor Losses: Typically < 0.2 W/kVAR
- Enclosure: Powder-coated sheet steel, IP41 (Standard) / IP54 (Optional)
- Protection: Integrated HRC fuses or MCBs for each capacitor stage
- Harmonic Withstand: Designed for typical single-phase applications; harmonic filter options available for higher distortion environments.
- Operating Temperature: -10°C to +50°C
- Standards: Conforms to IEC 60831-1/2, IS 13340
- Mounting: Wall-mount type
- Wiring: Internal wiring with high-grade copper cables
How It Works:
Inductive loads draw reactive power, causing the current to lag behind the voltage (low power factor). Our panel introduces leading reactive power through its capacitor banks. These capacitors essentially "cancel out" the lagging reactive power, bringing the overall power factor closer to unity (1.0). This reduces the total current drawn from the utility, minimizing losses and improving the efficiency of your entire electrical system.
