AUTOMATIC POWER FACTOR CORRECTION (APFC)


Johns Electric is one of the best Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) and Control panel manufacturers & suppliers in India. All our panels fully comply with all regulatory requirements and are fully tested. Every panel is custom designed and built to customer specifications.

Applications

  1. Transformer loss and it's correction.
  2. DG loss and it's correction.
  3. Motor losses.
  4. Harmonic controlling and correction
  5. Thyristor Switching.

Features

A automatic power factor correction (APFC) control panel is a device to switch on and off the 3 phase capacitor banks to maintain the Power Factor at (0.95 to 1.00) of 3 phase load. Through this variant of control panel, Power Factor is taken care of by Switching on the Capacitors when required to maintain the Power Factor at the selected and preset value.
