Automatic Power Factor Control Panel - Metal Base, 220-440 Volt, White Powder Coated Finish | Features: Anti Rust, 1 Year Warranty, Microprocessor-based Control

An APFC (Automatic Power Factor Correction) Electrical Panel is a highly efficient system used to improve the power factor of electrical networks in industrial, commercial, and institutional installations. It is designed to automatically monitor the reactive power consumption and switch capacitor banks on or off, based on the real-time power factor requirements of the connected load.

Maintaining a high power factor is essential for reducing energy losses, avoiding penalties from utility providers, and optimizing the overall efficiency of the power distribution system. The APFC panel achieves this by using a microprocessor-based relay controller that continuously senses the power factor and controls the capacitor banks through contactors or thyristor modules.

These panels are equipped with capacitors, MCBs/MCCBs, power factor controllers, detuned reactors (if needed), contactors, CTs, and other necessary protective devices to ensure safe and effective operation. They are typically installed near the main distribution panel or load centers to ensure accurate correction.
