Understanding Power Factor Correction and its Importance

View profile for Rohit Mishra

Electrical Design, Estimation & Sales Engineer.

let's learn something about Power Factor Correction:- Every electric machine needs active power (kW) and reactive power (kVAr) to operate. The power rating of the installation in kVA is the combination of both: (kVA)2 = (kW)2 + (kVAr)2 or kVA = kW2 + kVAr2 The Power Factor has been defined as the ratio of active power (kW) to apparent power (kVA). Power Factor = (kW) / (kVA). The objective of Reactive Energy management is improvement of Power Factor, or “Power Factor Correction”. This is typically achieved by producing reactive energy close to the consuming loads, through connection of capacitor banks to the network Ensure reliability and safety at installations :- + Quality and reliability • Continuity of service thanks to the high performance and long life expectancy of capacitors. • 100% testing in manufacturing plant. • Design and engineering with the highest international standards. + Safety: • Tested safety features integrated on each phase. • Over-pressure system for safe disconnection at the end of life. • All materials and components are free of PCB pollutants. + Efficiency and productivity • Product development including innovation in ergonomics and ease of installation and connection. • Specially designed components to save time on installation and maintenance. .. .. .. #panel #LTpanel #panelbuilder #PCC #electrical #Energy #panel #PCCpanel #Electeicalstudy
