🔷 Power Factor Panel (PFC Panel)
🔹 Introduction
A Power Factor Control Panel (PFC Panel) is designed to improve the power factor of electrical systems and reduce energy losses. It plays a crucial role in maintaining efficient power usage in industries and commercial setups.
🔹 What is Power Factor Panel?
Power factor is the ratio of active power to apparent power in an electrical system. A low power factor causes higher electricity consumption and penalties.
The PFC panel automatically controls capacitor banks to maintain the power factor near unity (1.0).
