100 kVAR Power Factor Panel

Description:
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.

• Avoidance of power factor penalty
• Reduction in maximum demand (kva)
• Reduction in energy (kwh) consumption
• Claim higher power factor incentives
• Longer life of the existing electrical distribution components like transformer, switch gears, cables, etc.

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:

• Avoid penalization for lower power factor.
• Enjoy incentives for higher power factor operation being extended to industries by some electricity boards/ companies.
• Optimize the connected load for improved plant load factor.
• Avoid manual disruption.
• Avoid high current consumption losses.
• Improvement in voltage regulation.
• Decrease maximum demand kva, thus avoiding penalty and demand charges
