Automatic Power Factor
Automatic Power Factor Controller
10KVAR – 1000KVAR
Power quality is critical to efficient operation of equipment. One contributing element to power quality is power factor.
Power Factor Correction (PFC) aims to improve power factor and hence power quality, utilising capacitors to offset usually inductive loads, for example motors. PFC systems increase the efficiency of power supply, delivering immediate cost savings on electricity.

- Manufactured as per relevant natioal and international standards.
How to Calculate the Apparent Power in kVA
First, we need to calculate the apparent power in kVA. We can do this by multiplying load voltage by load current:
Block Diagram
Apparent Power is the vector sum of Real and Reactive Power and corresponds to the total power required to produce the equivalent amount of real power for the load.
