Product Overview & Technical Architecture
What is an APFC Panel (Automatic Power Factor Correction)?
An Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panel is a specialized electrical power quality panel designed to automatically measure, analyze, and maintain plant power factor at near unity (0.99 Lag). It continuously monitors reactive power demand (kVAR) caused by inductive motor loads, transformers, and HVAC compressors, dynamically switching capacitor bank steps in real time.
Equipped with intelligent microprocessor-based APFC controller relays, detuned harmonic filter reactors, heavy-duty self-healing MPP capacitors, and fast contactors or thyristor switches, Panel Electro APFC Panels prevent utility maximum demand penalties and optimize active energy consumption.
Capacitor Bank, Detuned Reactor & Switching Architecture
Custom engineered reactive power compensation modules configured with heavy-duty capacitors, detuned reactors, and fast thyristor or contactor switching.
Microprocessor APFC Relay
Digital multi-stage controller with OLED display, automatic step duty rotation, THD harmonics monitoring, and RS485 Modbus telemetry.
Detuned Harmonic Reactors
Copper/Aluminium wound iron-core detuned filter reactors prevent harmonic resonance and protect capacitors against harmonic overload.
Heavy Duty MPP Capacitors
Cylindrical aluminium can capacitors with metallized polypropylene film, internal overpressure tear-off safety disconnectors, and discharge resistors.
Zero-Cross Thyristor Modules
Solid-state thyristor switches for instantaneous, contactorless, transient-free capacitor switching in rapidly fluctuating motor and welder loads.
Capacitor Duty Contactors
Specialized 3-pole contactors fitted with damping resistor blocks to absorb severe high-frequency peak inrush current during step connection.
Power Quality & SCADA Gateway
Real-time kVAR, power factor, THD, and capacitor temperature telemetry transmitted to central plant SCADA or cloud IoT dashboards.
Internal Switchgear & Control Components Grid
Top-tier electrical switchgear, protection relays, and control electronics integrated inside Panel Electro MCC & PCC Panels.
