APFC Panels, Automatic Power Factor Correction Panel

Automatic Power Factor Control (APFC) Panel are designed to optimize power factor, ensuring efficient energy consumption in electrical systems. Power Factor, the ratio of active power to apparent power, plays a crucial role in measuring and enhancing electrical efficiency. APFC Panels automatically monitor and adjust power factor by switching capacitor bank units ON and OFF as needed. This intelligent regulation reduces energy losses, enhances system performance, and minimizes penalties due to poor power factor. Ideal for industrial and commercial applications, APFC Panels contribute to cost savings and improved power quality.
Automatic Power Factor Correction Panels are mainly used to keep the power factor at a desired level as per the electricity board’s rules. The power factor is a measure of how efficiently the electricity is used. It is calculated by dividing the active power (the power that does useful work) by the apparent power (the total power supplied). The higher the power factor, the less electricity is wasted. This can help to save money and avoid penalties from the electricity board.

APFC Panels has a micro-controller that can automatically switch on or off different capacitor banks. Capacitor banks are devices that store and release electrical energy. APFC Panels with a stage based pre-programmable micro-controller of varied make which triggers the capacitor banks of suitable capacity automatically in multiple stages by directly sensing the reactive load which works in the principle of VAR (Volt Ampere Reactive) sensing tends to maintain the PF to 0.99 Lag. The capacitor banks are selected in a number of stages as 4/6/8/12/16 according to the load pattern as per the customer requirement.
