What are Power Factor Correction Panel Boards used for?
Power Factor Correction Panel Boards are used to moderate the power supply in a power supply unit. The fact that the plant load is mostly inductive because of the motors used in them leads to the power supply unit having to supply reactive component also along with active component which actually does the work. This scenario builds up a balancing condition where the reactive component increases the total power distributed by the supply system. The use of capacitive reactive power compensates the inductive reactive power to make sure that the total power remains less.
At Electrivcal Care Services (ECS), we design and manufacture a wide range of Automatic Power Factor Correction Boards which consist of a Power factor controller used to sense the power factor. If there is an imbalance of power, the controller switches ON the capacitors one by one from the capacitor bank till the desired power factor which is set on the controller is achieved.
The power load can vary from time to time resulting in a varying power factor load. Our Power Factor Correction Panel Boards automatically switch the capacitor banks ON and OFF to ensure that the set power factor is maintained.
