Function of APFC Panel is improve the power factor. Most of the electric load is reactive, resulting in poor power factor. Companies distributing electricity encourage consumers to improve power factor. For improving power factor, electricity consumers have to connect capacitors of optimum rating across inductive load. APFC is an automatic power factor electrical device which is employed to boost the ability factor, whenever required, by switching ON and OFF the desired capacitor bank units automatically.
APFC Panel has microcontroller based programmable controller which switches the capacitor banks of suitable capacity automatically in multiple stages by directly reading the reactive load (RKVA) which works in the principle of VAR sensing tends to keep up the PF to 0.99 Lag. APFC Relay - Automatic Power Factor Controller Relay. Low Power Factor - Harms. In industries we've differing kinds of loads viz. resistive, inductive & capacitive. To improve the facility factor it's required to attach a hard and fast capacitor or capacitor bank at the LT side of the Transformer. For approximate KVAr of capacitors required. If the installation has various small loads with the mixture of huge loads then the APFC should be recommended.
Types APFC Panels
There are two types of APFC panel (APFC & RTPFC Panel) APFC full form is Automatic power factor improvement Panel and RTPFC panel means real time power factor correction panel. Accu Panels making best design with standard specification as per KVAR rating and best price.
Standards of APFC Panel
APFC panel also known as automatic power factor improvement Panel because, it can control the power factor for reactive loads. Similarly they are designed as per IS standard IS 8623, IEC 60529. In addition, accu panels provide high quality and reliability.
