Power Factor Correction

WHAT IS POWER FACTOR CORRECTION?

Power factor correction is the ratio between true power (KW) to the total apparent power (KVA). PFC is the process of maximising the efficiency of an electrical system to deliver the most possible power as active power.

 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF POWER FACTOR CORRECTION?

  • Reduced demand and reactive power charges
  • Extended equipment life
  • Increased load carrying capabilities in existing circuits
  • Improved voltages
  • Reduced power system losses
  • Reduced carbon footprint
