APFC panels
APFC requirements should be based on load profile, switching duty, harmonics and project conditions before the applicable approach is confirmed.
In short
Elins APFC solutions improve power factor, reduce avoidable losses and support more efficient use of electrical infrastructure.
Panel architecture is selected around load variation, harmonic conditions, switching frequency and utility requirements.
Contactor-switched capacitor stages
Thyristor-switched compensation for rapidly changing loads
Hybrid systems combining capacitor banks with static VAR or active harmonic technologies
Power factor closer to unity
Reduced utility penalties
Lower current and cable losses
Improved voltage stability
Better visibility into reactive-power performance
A site power-quality study is recommended where harmonics, rapid load changes or sensitive equipment influence system design.
Power quality
Power factor correction and energy optimisation, reactive power management and active harmonic filters.
Hybrid APFC panels combine traditional capacitor banks with active technology, such as static VAR generators or active harmonic filters.
Improves power factor to near unity, reducing utility penalties and cable losses.
Thyristor-switched or contactor-switched options based on load dynamics.
