APFC Panel
APFC or Automatic Power Factor Control Panels are used for sustainment of Power Factor as per State Electricity Board. If this power factor is not maintained then consumer need to pay penalty for it which comes along with electricity bill. Power Factor is defined as ratio of active power to apparent power and it is mainly a key factor in measuring electrical consumption. Everyone knows that how costly electricity is computed now-a-days. Therefore it becomes very much important to reduce on electrical consumption for reducing expenditure and economizing the utility expenses by harnessing electrical utility by operation at desired power factor to reduce unwanted electricity penalty rising because of continuous power factor drop. What actually APFC panel do? APFC panel has micro controller which stage wise detects the power factor value, if the power factor goes below 0.9 (lagging) it automatically connects capacitor banks to improve it. Capacitor banks are designed as ...
