Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panels

  • Capacitor banks up to 2500kVAR or as per customer load requirement

  • Microprocessor / Intelligent controller for real-time power factor correction

  • Optional detuned reactors for harmonic suppression

    • Voltage Rating - 415V AC, 3-phase, 50/60Hz

    • Power Factor Range - Target value usually around 0.95–0.99 lagging

    • Capacitor Banks - Steps of fixed/rated capacitors (kVAR)

    • Controller - Digital Power Factor Controller (8–16 steps common)

    • Protection - Overload, short-circuit, over-voltage, under-voltage, capacitor failure, etc.

    • Indication - Digital meters for kW, kVAR, PF, volt, amp, frequency

    • Enclosure - Powder-coated steel, IP42/IP54/IP65 depending on installation type

    • Cooling - Natural or forced air ventilation depending on size and rating

    • Compliance - IS 13585-1, IEC 60831, or other national standards

    • Power Factor Controller Relay

    • Capacitor Banks

    • Contactors or Thyristor Switches (for switching capacitor banks)

    • MCBs/MCCBs (Protection)

    • Current Transformers (CTs) – for sensing load current

    • APFC Relay Display Unit – to show real-time PF and control logic

    • Busbars and Wiring

    • Cooling Fans or Vents

    • Industrial plants with heavy inductive loads (motors, compressors)

    • Commercial complexes

    • Shopping malls

    • Hospitals

    • Manufacturing units

    • Water treatment plants

    • Data centers

    • Reduces electricity bills by avoiding power factor penalties

    • Improves voltage stability and power quality

    • Increases capacity of the system by reducing kVA demand

    • Minimizes losses in electrical network

    • Enhances equipment lifespan
