APFC Panels

The function of APFC panels is to eliminate the trailing reactive power counter effect brought on by inductive loads like induction motors. These panels, which are microprocessor-powered, can detect lagging reactive power and automatically rectify power factors by injecting reactive power into the grid by turning capacitor banks ON. Depending on the client’s needs, a variety of bespoke APFC panel types are available for power requirements ranging from 30 kVAr to 1000 kVAr. Big electricity loads are typical in commercial and industrial areas. However, handling these loads manually frequently results in loss and energy waste, and when done too frequently, it can also result in penalties. Instead, businesses can switch to APFC panels to solve this issue through the use of automation and guarantee that the utility power factor is successfully maintained. The APFC panel’s main purpose is to boost the power factor. Poor power factor is caused by the majority of the electric load being reactive. Power factor improvement is encouraged by electricity distribution companies. Electricity users must link capacitors with the best ratings across inductive loads to improve power factor. When necessary, an automatic power factor converter (APFC) is used to increase the ability factor by automatically turning the desired capacitor bank units ON and OFF.
