PHY GUARD " - AUTOMATIC POWER FACTOR CORRECTION PANEL |
| |
Most of the commercial and Industrial installations in the country have large electrical loads which are
severely inductive in nature, such as motors, large machines, air conditioners, drivers etc. Which results in a severely lagging power factor. This means loss and wastage of energy and heavy penalties by electricity boards. In case of fixed loads this can be taken care by manual switching of capacitors. |
| |
However in case of rapidly varying and scattered loads it becomes difficult to maintain a high power factor
by manually switching on/off the capacitors in proportion to variation of load within an installation. This
drawback is overcome by using an APFC panel (Automatic Power Factor Correction Panel) which not only maintains a high power factor but also eliminates the eliminates the need for constant manual intervention. |
