In industry most of the load is inductive in nature which results in lagging power factor that is why there is loss and wastage of energy which results in high power bills and heavy penalties from electricity boards. If the load is uneven it is very difficult to maintain unity power factor. To overcome this difficulty APFC panel is used which maintains unity P.F. The power factor can be maintained by installing Automatic Power Factor Controller(APFC).
ADVANTAGES
- Reduced demand charges by compensation of non-useful energy
- Increased load carrying capacity of existing system
- Reduced power system losses & reduced carbon footprint
