APFC panels

APFC panels

Compensation selected for the load—not added as an afterthought.

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.

Application-specific compensation

Panel architecture is selected around load variation, harmonic conditions, switching frequency and utility requirements.

Available approaches

Contactor-switched capacitor stages

Thyristor-switched compensation for rapidly changing loads

Hybrid systems combining capacitor banks with static VAR or active harmonic technologies

Benefits

Power factor closer to unity

Reduced utility penalties

Lower current and cable losses

Improved voltage stability

Better visibility into reactive-power performance

Engineering note

A site power-quality study is recommended where harmonics, rapid load changes or sensitive equipment influence system design.

Power quality

Power factor correction panels

Power factor correction and energy optimisation, reactive power management and active harmonic filters.

Power Factor Correction Panels (APFC)

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.
