Power Factor Improvement

Power factor improvement is the process of enhancing the power factor of an electrical system to make it more efficient. Power factor is the ratio of real power (kW) to apparent power (kVA) in an AC electrical system. It indicates how effectively electrical power is being converted into useful work. A power factor close to 1 (or 100%) is ideal, as it means most of the power supplied is being used efficiently. A poor power factor has the following effects: Higher Electricity Bills (Utilities charge penalties for low power factor), and voltage drops and instability to end users. We therefore assist our clients to improve their power factor through installation and maintenance of Automatic Power Factor Control (APFC) panels.
