APFC Panel

APFC Panel means Automatic Power Factor Correction Panel. In some cases, in industrial applications, the loading pattern of the entire network will change from time to time. So if that type of Industries connect a fixed compensation. It will not be in a position to compensate exactly what is required for Power Factor. But, in case of APFC panels that type industry will have a microprocessor or Micro controller based relay which helps you to sense the load current instantaneously and the particular MC relay will hunt for capacitors to compensate and power factor improvement will be automatic. APFC is nothing but steps of capacitors connected to the contactor in turn connected to the breakers and relay. It doesn’t require much of the manual support as of fixed compensation is concerned. Your power factor will be improved automatically; APFC will have a step by step compensation.

Benefit’s of Automatic Power factor correction panel

• Elimination of Power factor penalty
• Prevention of leading power factor
• Consistency in Power Factor under fluctuating load conditions.
• Maintenance Free
