Capabilities

What this service covers

PFI systems engineered in compliance with relevant IEC standards for industrial and infrastructure applications.

Automatic and fixed capacitor banks

Advanced controllers

Protection devices

High-quality components for reliable power factor correction

Reduced electricity billsAvoidance of utility penaltiesImproved overall system stability

Power factor correction capacitors increase the system current-carrying capacity by reducing kVA demand for a given kW load.

Improves power factor of a given kW load

Reduces kVA demand

Allows additional kW load connection without increasing existing kVA capacity

Reducing current in overloaded systems improves transformer efficiency, reduces losses, and extends equipment life.

Increasing power factor from 0.75 to 0.95 reduces current flow by approximately 21%

A system operating at 0.75 power factor requires about 26.7% more current

A system operating at 0.65 power factor requires about 46.2% more current

Better transformer efficiencyReduced electrical lossesExtended equipment lifespan
