NEPTUNE MAKE APFC RELAYS & POWER CAPACITORS

Neptune manufactures Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) relays and power capacitors, both of which are crucial components in power factor correction systems. Here's a closer look at each: APFC Relays: Purpose: APFC relays are used to automatically control the connection and disconnection of power factor correction capacitors in response to changes in the power factor of the electrical system. Functions: These relays continuously monitor the power factor of the system and activate or deactivate the appropriate capacitors to maintain the power factor close to the desired setpoint. They ensure that the system operates at optimal power factor, reducing energy losses and improving efficiency. Features: Neptune's APFC relays typically offer features such as adjustable setpoints for target power factor, automatic or manual control modes, overload protection, phase sequence monitoring, and communication interfaces for remote monitoring and control. Power Capacitors: Purpose: Power capacitors are devices used to provide reactive power compensation in power factor correction systems. They are connected in parallel with the load to offset the inductive reactive power drawn by motors, transformers, and other inductive loads. Functions: Power capacitors store and release electrical energy in response to changes in voltage and current, helping to improve the power factor of the electrical system and reduce energy consumption. Features: Neptune's power capacitors are typically designed for high reliability, with features such as self-healing dielectric material to prevent catastrophic failure in the event of a capacitor failure. They may also include features such as internal discharge resistors for safety and protection against overvoltage conditions. Applications: APFC relays and power capacitors from Neptune are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications where power factor correction is necessary to reduce energy costs, improve system efficiency, and comply with utility regulations. They find application in a wide range of industries including manufacturing, utilities, data centers, commercial buildings, and renewable energy installations.
