In view of constantly rising power tariff & penalties imposed by the State Electricity Boards / Utility companies, it is imperative for any HT & LT Industry / Consumer to install an automatic power factor controller system for curtailment of Power Factor penalty and also to Save Energy by consistently maintaining higher power factor. Low Power Factor leads to poor power efficiency, thereby increasing the apparent power drawn from the distribution network. This results in overloading of Transformer, Bus bars, Switch gears, Cables and other distribution devices within the Industry or consumer area.
The Present day electrical networks cater to variety of non linear loads (like UPS, Soft Starter, VFD etc.) Which dynamically fluctuates and creates Waveform distortion thereby necessitating installation of APFC Panel with line filter. The above facts warrant the consumer to install an ideal AUTOMATIC POWER FACTOR CORRECTION (APFC) SYSTEM in order to:
