Salient features of Our APFC panels
| Automatic Switching | Our Panels automatically switch capacitor banks in and out of the circuit based on real-time power factor measurements, typically using contactors or thyristors. |
| Microprocessor-based Controller | Incorporation of a microprocessor or digital controller for accurate monitoring and adjustment of power factor, which can provide advanced functionalities like data logging and communication on demand |
| Power Factor Measurement | Real-time measurement of power factor, voltage, current, and load, allowing for precise adjustments and monitoring. |
| Reactive Power Control | The ability to control reactive power supply dynamically to maintain the desired power factor level. |
| Harmonic Filtering (Optional) | Advanced APFC panels may include harmonic filters to mitigate harmonic distortion in the system, protecting equipment and improving power quality. |
| Alarm and Diagnostics | Built-in alarms for under-voltage, over-voltage, capacitor failure, and other anomalies, along with diagnostic features for troubleshooting. |
| User Interface | A user-friendly display/interface that provides real-time readings, status updates, and control parameters, such as LCD or LED panels. |
| Communication Interfaces | Capacity for communication via protocols like Modbus, RS-485, or Ethernet for integration with SCADA or building management systems. |
| Overcurrent and Short-circuit Protection | Circuit breakers or fuses to protect the capacitor banks and panel from overcurrent and short-circuit conditions. |
| Capacitor Bank Protection | Features like discharge resistors, surge protection devices, and reactor coils to protect against inrush currents and transient voltages. |
| Smart Control Algorithms | Advanced algorithms for optimal control, such as fuzzy logic or neural network-based systems, which can adapt to changing load conditions. |
| Maintenance Indicators | Features that indicate when the capacitors need maintenance, replacements, or have reached the end of their service life. |
