APFC Panels

Melcon Transformers is one of the pioneer units engaged in the manufacture and export of Power and Distribution Transformers and other customised types of transformers since 1988. The company also manufactures Automatic Power Factor Control (APFC) Panels. APFC panel is a cost effective solution to improve the power factor in any industry. It automatically switches On and Off the required amount of capacitors depending upon the load variation to achieve the set PF. The APFC panel is a perfect solution to manage power factor and to improve the life of the capacitors. It has a fantastic payback period. It has necessary switchgears, contactors, isolating switches, HRC fuses and an intelligent microprocessor based power factor controller. This can be used for switching externally/internally installed capacitor banks for integrated management of load power. Melcon APFC panel has many advantages compared to other competitors because of its intelligent unique design of the banking pattern that helps to improve the desired power factor for all kind of loads. The load, and therefore its kVAR are in a dynamic state – generally. A matching kVAR output of a capacitor bank must also be dynamic, i.e., must adjust itself-instantly to its requirement, if one is to obtain a uniform and 'set' pf all along. This is best achieved by an automatic control that switches in and out, segments of a designed capacitor bank. A control panel serving this purpose is called on APFC panel. It controls the load power factor by sensing various available parameters.
