Power Factor Improvement (PFI)
Most of the commercial and industrial installations in the country have large electrical loads which are mostly inductive in nature. Such loads like motors, big machines, air conditioners, drives, etc. result in a severely lagging power factor. This means loss and wastage of energy and heavy penalties by electricity boards. In case of fixed loads this can be taken care by manual switching of capacitors.
Features
- Designed with the concept of modularity which allows upgrading of KVAR rating as when required
- Incomer ACB / MCCB for connection to the mains
- Advanced microprocessor based relay used to ensure real time power factor correction in the installation
- Specifically designed, user friendly and dust & vermin proof modules
- Efficient performance trans air exhaust fan for cooling
- Heavy Duty capacitors for jerking loads
Advantage
- Economical with faster payback periods
- Ability to maintain a constant high power factor
- Eliminates low power factor penalties levied by Electricity Board
- Reduces the KVA demand charges
- Improves efficiency of the system by reducing losses
- Prevents leading power factor in the installation during low load conditions
