Optimize Your Energy. Enhance Your Efficiency. Introducing Our Advanced APFC Panels.

In today's industrial and commercial landscape, inefficient power utilization can lead to significant financial penalties, increased energy consumption, and reduced equipment lifespan. Our Advanced Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panels are engineered to be the definitive solution, ensuring your electrical systems operate at peak efficiency, reduce your energy bills, and comply with power utility regulations.

What is an APFC Panel?

An APFC (Automatic Power Factor Correction) Panel is an intelligent system designed to automatically detect and correct the power factor of an electrical load. By continuously monitoring the reactive power in your system, the panel switches on or off capacitor banks to maintain the power factor at an optimal level (typically close to unity, e.g., 0.98 or higher). This minimizes reactive power flow, reduces energy losses, and improves overall electrical system performance.

Key Features & Technologies:

• Intelligent Microprocessor-Based Controller:
  • Continuously monitors real-time parameters like power factor, voltage, current, active power, reactive power, and harmonics.
  • Automatically switches capacitor stages with precision to maintain the target power factor.
  • Features intelligent algorithms for fast response times and efficient capacitor bank management.
  • User-friendly interface with LCD/LED display for easy monitoring and configuration.
• Modular Capacitor Bank Design:
  • Utilizes high-quality, long-life, self-healing, low-loss APP (All Polypropylene) / MPP (Metallized Polypropylene) capacitors.
  • Configured in multiple stages (e.g., 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16 stages) for fine-tuned and stepped power factor correction.
  • Capacitors are designed for heavy-duty operation and varying load conditions.
• Heavy-Duty Switching Devices:
  • Equipped with robust capacitor-duty contactors with damping resistors for safe and efficient switching, prolonging capacitor life.
  • Optional Thyristor Switches: For highly dynamic and rapidly fluctuating loads, offering ultra-fast, transient-free switching without mechanical wear.
• Integrated Protection Mechanisms:
  • Over-current and Short-circuit Protection: Provided by HRC fuses or MCCBs for each capacitor bank.
  • Over-voltage and Under-voltage Protection: Safeguards capacitors and connected equipment.
  • Over-temperature Protection: Ensures panel longevity and safety.
  • Harmonic Overload Protection: (Especially with detuned reactors) Protects capacitors from harmonic stress.
• Robust & Safety-Compliant Enclosure:
  • Constructed from high-grade CRCA steel, precisely fabricated and powder-coated for superior corrosion resistance and durability.
  • Designed for indoor or outdoor installations, available with various IP protection ratings (e.g., IP4X, IP5X) to protect against dust and water ingress.
  • Ample ventilation for heat dissipation, with options for natural air or forced air cooling for higher kVAr ratings.
  • Equipped with proper earthing provisions and safety interlocks.
• Advanced Harmonic Filtering (Optional Integration):
  • Can be integrated with detuned reactors to mitigate harmonic distortions present in the electrical system, protecting sensitive electronic equipment and improving overall power quality in polluted environments.
