Automatic Power Factor Panel

 

The Automatic Power Factor Panel is an efficient and reliable solution designed to improve power quality and reduce energy costs in industrial and commercial electrical systems. It automatically monitors and corrects the power factor by switching capacitor banks on or off based on the real-time reactive power demand. Housed in a sturdy, powder-coated steel enclosure, this panel ensures durability and protection against environmental factors. Its intelligent control system optimizes capacitor usage to maintain the desired power factor level, minimizing penalties from utility companies and enhancing overall electrical system efficiency. Easy to install and maintain, the panel supports flexible configurations to match varying load requirements and contributes to energy savings and improved voltage stability.
