Automatic Power Factor Control (APFC) Panel
The Automatic Power Factor Control (APFC) Panel is a special type of electrical panel that is made to automatically improve the power factor of the electrical system. It saves energy losses, ensures no power factor penalty, and improves energy efficiency. At Kiran Power Control, we manufacture top-notch APFC panels that ensure reliable working, automatic capacitor switching, and long-lasting service.
What is an APFC panel?
The APFC panel is an automatic electrical panel that keeps the power factor of the electrical system optimum by turning the capacitor bank ON/OFF as per the electrical load. It automatically monitors the electrical load using a power factor relay. The application areas include manufacturing industries, hospitals, hotels, shopping malls, textile industries, and commercial buildings.
Characteristics of APFC Panels
The APFC panels have been designed in accordance with automatic power factor control and a microprocessor-based relay system, which ensures proper functioning of the panels. They feature powerful capacitor banks, overload protection, and short-circuit protection for efficient operation. The powder-coated enclosure makes them durable with a prolonged service life while offering very little maintenance needs. The panels are simple to install and use.
Benefits of Automatic Power Factor Control Panel
Through APFC panels, one can save money on electricity charges due to power factor correction and the reduction of electricity penalty fees from power distributors. This way, the overall efficiency of energy is improved due to reduced power losses in the electrical system. Good power factor correction will also allow all the electrical appliances to function effectively, resulting in increased durability and fewer problems associated with them. The automatic nature of the APFC panels prevents manual capacitor switching and improves voltage stability.
Technical Specifications
APFC panels work on a three-phase power supply of 415 volts with a frequency of 50 Hz. They come with heavy-duty capacitors and an automatic APFC relay to effectively perform their functions. The cabinets used in these panels are fabricated using powdered mild steel. APFC panels are appropriate for applications in industries, commercial buildings, HVAC, pumping stations, and manufacturing units.
