Automatic Power Factor Control (APFC) Panels are designed to maintain the plant’s power factor at unity, optimizing demand in KVA. The power factor is regulated to a set value using an APFC relay in automatic mode. In case of relay failure, manual control is available through push buttons. The panel supports both auto and manual modes for seamless power factor management.
Various types of capacitors, such as MPP, APP, or mixed dielectric, are selected based on load conditions. For non-linear loads like Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), thyristor switching and suitable reactors are used along with capacitors to filter harmonics and ensure system stability.
APFC panels monitor and adjust electrical power factor, maintaining it near unity (1.0) by adding or removing capacitors as needed. This ensures efficient power use and minimizes penalties from the utility for reactive power.
APFC panels boast advanced monitoring and control, facilitating real-time tracking of power factor, voltage, and current. With intuitive interfaces, operators access comprehensive data for informed capacitor bank management, optimizing performance and maintenance decisions.
APFC panels optimize power factor, cutting energy losses and costs in electrical systems. Enhanced power factor lowers current flow, reducing losses in cables and transformers. This boosts equipment efficiency, slashes bills, extends component lifespan, and minimizes power interruptions.
We use high-quality MS CRCA sheet steel with thicknesses of 14 gauge 2mm and 16 gauge 1.66mm for panel fabrication. Our panels are supported by robust 75x40 or 100x50 base channels. We offer panels with protection classes of IP 42, IP 52, IP 55, and IP 65, tailored to meet specific client requirements.
Our sheet metal is treated to prevent corrosion and coated with epoxy-based powder to 80-100 microns, using a seven-tank pretreatment process. Panels are then baked at up to 200°C for durability and a high-quality finish. Painting options include oven-drying or powder-coating based on client specifications
Our Busbar System is engineered to leverage the thermal and mechanical properties of the busbar material, effectively resisting short-circuit currents while promoting efficient heat dissipation to maintain cooler temperatures. For added safety and stability, the busbars are supported by SMC insulators, and all joints are secured with specified torque and sealed with a paint mark for verification.
We adhere to the latest IS standards for engineering and wiring in our panels. During assembly, we carefully consider the panel layout to ensure ease of access for operation and maintenance. Each component is clearly labeled to facilitate quick and accurate identification, enhancing both functionality and serviceability.
