AUTOMATIC POWER FACTOR CORRECTION PANEL (APFC)

The power factor correction panels are designed to improve the power factor in electrical systems while ensuring energy and cost efficiency. The benefits include power factor correction, poor power factor penalty utility bill reductions, voltage support, release of system capacity, and reduced system losses. Power Factor can be explained as ratio of active power to apparent power and it is a key factor in measuring electrical consumption.

APFC Panels becomes indispensable in those industries where electrical installations are meant to supply to large electrical load. A dip in Power Factor can attract operational losses and a penalty from electricity board, responsible for electricity supply.

There are two types of APFC Panels,
1. APFC Panel (Without Harmonic Filter) 2. APFC Panel With Series Reactor (With Harmonic Filter)
