Speed-Cap (Load Operated) Power Factor Control System For Welding Applications

LOAD OPERATED FAST RESPONSE REACTIVE POWER COMPENSATION SYSTEM :- . The system is designed to work automatically on highly variable, fluctuating, unbalanced loads. The compensation is done on percentage of load current set able on site in program mode of Controller with fast response with cut off of set value of power factor. Load operated Thyristor switched Automatic power factor system mainly suitable to Welding Loads, Lifts, Crane, Injection Molding Machines. It is a highly Fast response system properly designed to measure ,display, connect & disconnect the required Kvar Capacitors to achieve target power factor.

Load operated APFC RELAY -Microprocessor based, most advanced device to measure & Display all electrical network parameters & calculate load Kvar to work automatically to connect & disconnect capacitors banks to achieve target power factor with ultra fast response.

Display Parameters of APFC Relay:
