What is Power Factor and why is there a need to correct the PF of my system ?
Power Factor is the ratio between the KW and the KVA drawn by an electrical load where the KW is the actual load power and the KVA is the apparent load power. It is a measure of how effectively the current is being converted into useful work output. All current flow causes losses both in the supply and distribution system. A load with a Power Factor of 1.0 results in the most efficient loading of the supply. A load with a Power Factor of, say, 0.8, results in much higher losses in the supply system and a higher bill for the consumer. A comparatively small improvement in power factor with the help of our APFC range can bring about a significant reduction in losses since losses are proportional to the square of the current and hence lower your bills.
Power Factor Improvement is beneficial for you in following ways :
1) Lower utility fees by Reducing peak KW billing demand Eliminating the power factor penalty
2) Increased system capacity and reduced system losses in your electrical system
3) Increased voltage level in your electrical system and cooler, more efficient motors
