APFC Control Panel

We are engaged in designing and manufacturing a comprehensive assortment of APFC Control Panels as per required specifications and configurations. We use the latest CAD/ CAM technologies to produce optimally functioning, user friendly and high performance APFC Control Panels. buyers can get them constructed as per requirement at market leading prices. 

More About Our APFC Control Panels :

• An Automatic Power Factor Correction (Controller) panel is used to Save Energy by consistently maintaining higher power factor. 
• Low Power Factor leads to poor power efficiency, thereby increasing the apparent power drawn from the distribution network. 
• This result in overloading of Transformer, Bus bars, Switch gears, Cables and other distribution devices within the Industry or consumer area. 

With an APFC panel, the energy producer can :

• Avoid Penalization for lower power factor. 
• Enjoy incentives for higher power factor operation being extended to industries by some Electricity Boards /Companies. 
• Optimize the connected load for improved plant load factor. 
• Avoid manual disruption. 
• Avoid high current consumption losses. 
• Improvement in voltage regulation. 
• Decrease Maximum Demand KVA, thus avoiding penalty and Demand Charges.
• The ration of Active Power to Apparent Power is called Power Factor. 
• Most of the commercial and Industrial installations in the country have large electrical loads, which are severely inductive in nature, such as motors, large machines, air conditioners, drivers etc. 
• This results in a severely lagging power factor. 
• This means loss and wastage of energy and heavy penalties by electricity boards. In case of fixed loads, this can be taken care by manual switching of capacitors. 
• However, in case of rapidly varying and scattered loads it becomes difficult to maintain a high power factor by manually switching on/off the capacitors in proportion to variation of load within an installation. 
• This drawback is overcome by using an Automatic Power Factor Correction Panel (APFC), which not only maintains a high power factor but also eliminates the need for constant manual intervention.

Advantages :

• Economical with faster payback periods
• Ability to maintain a constant high power factor
• Eliminates low power factor penalties levied by EB
• Reduces the KVA demand charges
• Improves efficiency of the system by reducing losses
• Prevents leading power factor in the installation during low load conditions
