APFC Panel

Introduction

Today, Modern power networks need to cater to a wide variety of electrical & power electronics loads and this creates a varying power demand on the power supply system. With varying loads, it becomes difficult to maintain a consistent power factor. To avoid over-voltages, a saturation of transformers, mal-operation of diesel generating sets and penalties by the power supply authorities, we at JP INDUSTRIES Solutions do provide certain solutions by using fixed compensation (fixed capacitors) to suit the variations of the load. AJP INDUSTRIES. we have achieved this by using Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) system which can ensure consistently high power factor without any manual intervention. In addition to this, the occurrence of a leading power factor can also be prevented.

Why improve power factor ?

The benefits that can be achieved by applying the correct power factor correction are: Environmental benefit. Reduction of power consumption due to improved energy efficiency. Reduced power consumption means less

greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel depletion by power stations. Reduction of electricity bills Extra kVA available from the existing supply Reduction of I2 R losses in transformers and distribution equipment Reduction of voltage drop in long cables. Extended equipment life – Reduced electrical burden on cables and electrica

These are fully automatic panels with feature like:

Consistently high-power factor under fluctuating load conditions.

Elimination of low power factor penalty levied by electrical supply authorities.

Reduced kVA demand charges.

Lower energy consumption in the installation by reducing losses.

APFCR Panel can be configured with Detuned Reactor, with TSM module or with Capacitor Contactor.
