Power Factor Panel

      Description


      Maximize Efficiency & Minimize Costs with Our Advanced Power Factor Correction Panels (APFCP / DPFCP)

      Unlock Your Facility's Full Potential

      In today's energy-conscious world, inefficient power usage is a drain on resources and profits. Inductive loads like motors, transformers, and fluorescent lighting in industrial and commercial facilities often lead to a "lagging power factor," meaning you're paying for more apparent power (kVA) than the actual useful power (kW) you consume.

      Our state-of-the-art Power Factor Correction (PFC) Panels are engineered to eliminate this inefficiency, automatically improving your power factor, reducing energy waste, and significantly cutting down your electricity bills. Invest in smart energy management and empower your operations with reliable, optimized power.

      What is a Power Factor Correction Panel?

      A Power Factor Correction Panel is an electrical control system designed to improve the power factor of an electrical load. It typically consists of an array of capacitors that act as reactive power generators, compensating for the reactive power consumed by inductive loads. Our panels employ an intelligent microprocessor-based relay that continuously monitors the power factor and automatically switches capacitor banks in or out of the circuit to maintain an optimal power factor (typically >0.95 lagging).

      Key Features

      • Intelligent Microprocessor-Based Controller: Continuously monitors power factor, voltage, current, and harmonics, automatically engaging/disengaging capacitor steps for precise control.
      • High-Quality, Long-Life Capacitors: Utilizes robust, self-healing, low-loss capacitors designed for continuous operation and extended lifespan, often featuring over-pressure disconnector for safety.
      • Modular & Scalable Design: Available in various kVAR ratings and step configurations (e.g., 4-step, 6-step, 8-step, 12-step) to perfectly match your facility's reactive power requirements, with options for future expansion.
      • Harmonic Filtering Options: Integrated detuned reactors available for installations with significant harmonic distortion, protecting capacitors and other sensitive equipment.
      • Robust Enclosure: IP-rated (e.g., IP4X, IP5X) heavy-duty sheet steel enclosure, powder-coated for corrosion resistance and designed for both indoor and outdoor applications.
      • Comprehensive Protection: Equipped with individual capacitor bank protection (HRC fuses/MCCBs), overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, and short-circuit protection for maximum safety and reliability.
      • User-Friendly Interface: Clear LCD display for real-time monitoring of power factor, voltage, current, power (kW, kVA, kVAR), harmonics, and alarm indicators.
      • Automatic & Manual Operation Modes: Flexibility for automated, set-and-forget operation or manual control when needed.
      • Ventilation System: Optimized cooling through natural convection or forced ventilation (fans) for heat dissipation and extended component life.
      • Compliance: Designed and manufactured to meet international and national standards (e.g., IEC 61921, IS 13585).

      Benefits You'll Experience

      • Significant Energy Cost Savings:
        • Reduced Electricity Bills: Eliminate or drastically lower utility penalties for poor power factor.
        • Lower Demand Charges (kVA): Free up transformer and cable capacity, reducing overall peak demand.
      • Enhanced System Efficiency & Reliability:
        • Reduced Line Losses: Minimize I²R losses in cables and transformers, leading to cooler operation and less wasted energy.
        • Improved Voltage Stability: Maintain more stable voltage levels, reducing voltage drops and improving equipment performance.
      • Extended Equipment Lifespan:
        • Reduce stress on motors, transformers, and other electrical equipment, leading to less wear and tear and longer operational life.
      • Increased System Capacity:
        • Free up existing electrical infrastructure, allowing for additional load connections without expensive upgrades to transformers or cabling.
      • Environmental Responsibility:
        • Lower energy consumption directly translates to a reduced carbon footprint, contributing to sustainability goals.
      • Compliance & Audit Readiness:
        • Ensure your facility meets utility and regulatory power quality standards.
