POWER FACTOR CORRECTION PRODUCTS

Power factor correction products are devices used to improve the power factor of electrical systems. Here are some common types: Capacitor Banks: Capacitor banks are the most common power factor correction devices. They consist of capacitors connected in parallel with the load to offset the inductive reactive power drawn by motors, transformers, and other inductive loads. Capacitor banks are available in various configurations, including fixed and automatic banks, to suit different applications. Detuned Reactors: Detuned reactors are used in conjunction with capacitor banks to mitigate the effects of harmonics in electrical systems. They are connected in series with the capacitors to form a detuned filter, which suppresses harmonic currents while allowing the capacitors to provide reactive power compensation. Detuned reactors help prevent resonance and equipment damage caused by harmonic distortion. Static Var Compensators (SVCs): SVCs are dynamic power factor correction devices that use power electronics to provide reactive power compensation. They continuously adjust the reactive power output to maintain the desired power factor, making them suitable for applications with rapidly changing loads or fluctuating power factors. Active Power Factor Correction (APFC) Systems: APFC systems use electronic controllers and switching devices to monitor the power factor in real-time and adjust the reactive power output accordingly. They offer precise control over the power factor and are often used in sensitive electronic applications or where high power quality is required. Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panels: APFC panels integrate capacitors, reactors, and control systems into a single unit for automatic power factor correction. They are typically installed at the main distribution board or switchgear to provide centralized power factor correction for the entire electrical system. Harmonic Filters: Harmonic filters are used to mitigate harmonic distortion caused by nonlinear loads in electrical systems. They consist of passive or active components that selectively filter out harmonic currents while allowing the fundamental frequency to pass through unimpeded. Harmonic filters help improve power quality and prevent equipment damage. Power Quality Analyzers: Power quality analyzers are diagnostic tools used to measure and analyze the power quality parameters of electrical systems, including power factor, harmonics, voltage fluctuations, and flicker. They help identify power quality issues and determine the most appropriate power factor correction solutions.
