APFC Panels

Automatic power factor correction for efficient operation.

Overview

Panels that automatically manage capacitor stages to maintain the required power factor and help reduce reactive power demand.

Automatic Power Factor Correction panels automatically manage capacitor stages to maintain the required power factor and help reduce reactive-power demand and associated losses and penalties.

Where the installation includes drives, rectifiers, UPS systems or other non-linear loads, a detuned reactor arrangement can be specified so that capacitor stages are protected from harmonic resonance.

How It Works

A power factor controller measures the reactive power demand of the installation and switches capacitor stages in or out to maintain the target power factor.

Switching can be through contactors for general applications, or through thyristor switching where the load changes rapidly and faster response is required.

Key Features

  • Automatic power factor control
  • Capacitor bank switching
  • Contactor or thyristor-based switching options
  • Detuned reactor option

Why Volkon

How we approach this product.

Application-Focused Engineering

Every electrical application has different load, voltage and environmental requirements. Our solutions are developed around the actual application rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Reliable Performance

We focus on dependable construction, suitable components and practical engineering to support long-term operation.

Customized Solutions

Electrical requirements vary from project to project. Product configurations can be developed around required capacity, voltage, installation environment and application.

Complete Power Ecosystem

From voltage correction to transformation, backup power and distribution, Volkon aims to provide solutions across the complete electrical-power chain.

Installation & Environment

Installation location, ambient conditions, ventilation, access, cable entry and protection co-ordination are reviewed as part of the engineering process so the supplied equipment suits the site it is going into.

FAQ

Common questions.

Detuned reactors are generally considered where the installation includes significant non-linear load such as variable frequency drives, rectifiers or UPS systems. The requirement is assessed against the harmonic profile of the installation.
