APFC Controller

The etaCON series of digital power factor correction controllers automatically corrects the power factor, with the help of contactors for the connection and disconnection of capacitor banks. L&T offers a wide etaCON range: 3, 5, 7, 8 and 12-step versions. etaCON ensures balanced capacitor usage by intelligent adjustment interface based on the number of switching operations and the connection time of each step, thus ensuring long life for switchgear and capacitors.
