What is APFC
APFC or Automatic Power Factor Control Panels are predominantly used for sustainment of Power Factor as per State Electricity Board. Power Factor is defined as ratio of active power to apparent power and it is mainly a key factor in measuring electrical consumption. Everyone knows that how costly electricity is computed now-a-days. Therefore it becomes very much important to reduce on electrical consumption for reducing expenditure and economizing the utility expenses by harnessing electrical utility by operation at desired power factor to curtail unwanted electricity penalty rising because of continuous power factor drop.
APFC Panel with 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 number of stages as 4/6/8/12/16 according to the load pattern as per the customer requirement.
The design features of our APFC Panels are:
-
Microprocessor based controller with four-quadrant measurement.
-
Self-adaptable with short reaction time for extremely fluctuating power levels.
-
Provided with reliable and long lasting components including heavy duty, dry type Capacitors.
-
Surge suppression and harmonic trapping inductors are incorporated as an optional features.
-
Application based system and configuration with multi-bank capacitors, multi stage protection and safety devices, etc.
-
Wide ranges available from 20 KVAr to 1000 KVAr in single module. Multi module construction for higher ratings.
