Advanced Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panel
Optimize Your Power, Maximize Your Savings
Are you facing challenges with high electricity bills, poor power quality, or penalties from your utility provider due to low power factor? Our Advanced Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panel is the intelligent solution designed to address these issues head-on. By efficiently improving your power factor, our APFC panels significantly reduce energy consumption, enhance system stability, and extend the lifespan of your electrical equipment.
What is an APFC Panel?
An APFC panel is an electrical system that automatically monitors and corrects the power factor of an electrical load. It consists of a series of capacitors switched in and out of the circuit by an intelligent controller. This dynamic compensation ensures the power factor is maintained close to unity (1.0), leading to optimal energy utilization and reduced operational costs.
Key Features
Our APFC Panels are engineered for superior performance, reliability, and ease of use:
Intelligent Microprocessor-Based Controller:
Real-time power factor monitoring and correction.
Multi-stage switching logic for precise compensation.
Automatic sensing of leading/lagging power factor.
Programmable settings for target power factor, switching delays, and alarm thresholds.
User-friendly HMI (Human Machine Interface) with LCD/LED display for system status and parameters.
Heavy-Duty Capacitors:
High-quality, self-healing, MPP (Metalized Polypropylene) capacitors for long life and consistent performance.
Dry-type or gas-filled options available, ensuring safety and reliability.
Low losses and high over-current/over-voltage withstand capabilities.
Robust Switching Contactors:
Specifically designed for capacitor switching, featuring pre-insertion resistors to mitigate inrush currents and enhance contactor life.
High-speed operation for rapid power factor correction.
Optional Detuned / Harmonic Filter Reactors:
Integrated reactors to protect capacitors from harmonic distortion present in the network (e.g., from VFDs, UPS, LEDs).
Prevents resonance and extends capacitor life in polluted networks.

Modular & Expandable Design:
Easily scalable to accommodate future load growth.
Component layout designed for convenient maintenance and service.
Safety Interlocks:
Ensures safe operation and maintenance procedures.
