Power Factor & Power Quality

APFC Panel

Automatic power factor correction that switches capacitors with the load to avoid wasted energy and penalties.

Automatic power factor correction panel line-up with capacitor feeder modules

Overview

Most office complexes and industrial installations have large inductive loads such as motors, large machines, air conditioners and drives. This causes a lagging power factor, which wastes energy and attracts heavy penalties from electricity boards.

With fixed loads, power factor can be corrected by switching capacitors manually. When loads change quickly or are spread out, manual switching can't keep the power factor high.

An Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) panel switches capacitors as the load changes. It maintains a high power factor and removes the need for constant manual intervention.

Key features

  • Automatic capacitor switching with load changes
  • Maintains a high power factor
  • Helps avoid electricity board penalties
  • No constant manual intervention
