APFC Panel

Edge Technologies offers an Automatic Power Factor Control (APFC) Panel. Advantages: transient free capacitor group switching, using electronic switching elements; enhances capacity of transformers, local generator systems, such as diesel and windmill generators; avoids waveform distortions, since capacitors are connected and disconnected during ‘zero’ current; prevents damage to sensitive electronic equipment; saves energy by reduced max demand, PF bonus and saving in transformer losses; accurate power factor control, even in the presence of harmonics; dramatically increases the life expectancy of switching elements and capacitors; built-in network analyser, measuring all network parameters including harmonics; and modular and upgradable with increased plant load. Applications: fast variable loads like CNC machines, welding, induction heating/melting, drives, extruders ETC; sensitive electronic equipment like data centre, R&D labs, corporate offices, telecommunications, hospitals and airports; welding, rolling mills, elevators, cranes, traction, etc; and big motors, pumping stations, sewage and water-treatment plants, air-conditioning plants, etc.
