Industries are heavily dependent on power for their machinery. As industrial activities surge, the demand for power increases correspondingly. However, many industries fail to utilize the supplied power efficiently and end up consuming more power than necessary. This leads to increased financial burden in the form of higher electricity bills and/or penalties. At this stage, the APFC panel becomes of utmost importance.

APFC (Automatic Power Factor Control) panels are automatic control systems that consist of a microprocessor-based controller and multiple capacitors. These panels can be turned on or off automatically on an individual basis. They ensure a consistently high power factor by meeting the reactive power demands of machinery. The core function of an APFC panel is to improve the power factor.

Power factor is defined as the ratio of active power to apparent power and is a key parameter in measuring electrical efficiency. It can be improved as needed by automatically switching the required capacitor bank units on or off. With electricity costs rising, it becomes essential to minimize energy expenditure by maintaining the required power factor. Doing so helps avoid penalties associated with continuous power factor drops. APFC panels play a critical role in managing industrial power consumption by stabilizing the power factor.

The microcontroller in the panel detects power factor levels at different stages. If the power factor falls below 0.9 (lagging) during peak load conditions, the capacitor banks are automatically engaged to improve it.

Advantages

There are several key benefits associated with the use of APFC panels:

• They optimize electricity consumption and reduce electricity bills along with penalties related to poor power factor.

• They minimize operational losses and enhance overall efficiency.

• They include programmable microcontrollers capable of sensing and controlling the load without delay.

• Fully automatic operation makes them easy to use and manage.

• A consistent power factor is maintained as capacitors are switched on or off automatically, based on real-time needs.

• Even under fluctuating load conditions, these panels help maintain a stable and high power factor.
