Automatic Power Factor Control Panels

Automatic Power Factor Control Panels are mainly used for the improvement of Power Factors. Power Factor can be explained as ratio of active power to apparent power and it is a key factor in measuring electrical consumption. A dip in Power Factor can attract operational losses and a penalty from the electricity board. APFC Panels can come real handy by effectively retaining a high Power Factor by switching ON and OFF the required capacitor bank units automatically and thereby, reducing Electricity costs and penalties.

Motor control centers are usually used for low voltage three-phase alternating current motors from 208 V to 600 V. Medium-voltage motor control centres are made for large motors running at 2300 V to around 15000 V, using vacuum contactors for switching and with separate compartments for power switching and control..
