Optimize Energy, Maximize Efficiency: Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panel
Unlock Peak Electrical Efficiency and Cost Savings
Is your facility plagued by low power factor, leading to higher energy bills, reactive power penalties, reduced system capacity, and shortened equipment life? Our state-of-the-art Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panels are engineered to dynamically monitor and improve your electrical system's power factor, ensuring optimal energy utilization and significant operational savings.
Designed for reliability and intelligent performance, our APFC panels automatically switch capacitor banks in and out of the circuit to maintain a consistent and ideal power factor, typically close to unity (0.99 lagging to 0.99 leading). This active management not only complies with utility regulations but also unlocks the full potential of your existing electrical infrastructure.
Key Features
Our APFC Panels are built with advanced technology and robust components to deliver unparalleled performance:
Advanced Microprocessor-Based Controller:
Intelligently monitors real-time power factor, voltage, current, active power, reactive power, apparent power, and harmonic distortion.
Automatic step selection and switching logic to ensure precise and rapid power factor correction.
User-friendly interface with LCD/LED graphical display for easy parameter setting and data visualization.
Alarm functions for over/under voltage, overcurrent, over-temperature, and harmonic distortion.
High-Quality, Low-Loss Capacitors:
Utilizes heavy-duty, self-healing, dry-type (APP) or oil-filled (MPP) capacitors with extended operational life.
Designed for high thermal stability and overload capacity.
Equipped with internal discharge resistors for safety.
Contactor Switched: For standard, relatively stable loads, offering robust and cost-effective switching.
Thyristor Switched (Optional/Fast-Acting): For dynamic and rapidly varying loads (e.g., welding, cranes, lifts), providing near-instantaneous, spark-free switching and extended lifespan.
Robust & Compliant Enclosure:
Constructed from high-grade CRCA steel, powder-coated for corrosion resistance and durability.
IP4X or IP5X protection rating (as per requirement) for indoor or outdoor installations, protecting against dust and moisture.
Ventilation provisions (natural or forced) to ensure optimal operating temperatures.
Comprehensive Safety Features:
Individual capacitor bank protection with HRC fuses or MCBs/MCCBs.
Overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, and short-circuit protection.
Over-temperature protection for capacitors and control circuitry.
Door interlock mechanism for enhanced operator safety.
Integrated Metering & Display:
Real-time display of key electrical parameters (V, A, kW, kVAR, kVA, PF, Frequency).
Event logging and historical data storage.
Modular & Expandable Design:
Allows for easy expansion of kVAR capacity to meet future load growth.
Simplified maintenance and component replacement.
Optional Harmonic Filtration:
Option for de-tuned or active harmonic filters to mitigate harmonic distortion caused by non-linear loads, further enhancing power quality and equipment lifespan.
Communication Capabilities (Optional):
Modbus RTU (RS485) for integration with SCADA, BMS, or other energy management systems.
Benefits of Implementing Our APFC Panel
Investing in our APFC Panel delivers tangible and immediate advantages for your operations:
