Description
PFC Panels automatically control capacitor steps to maintain the target power factor under varying load conditions. They are ideal for facilities with fluctuating reactive power demand, helping improve energy efficiency, stabilize the electrical system, and reduce utility penalties caused by poor power factor.
Application Advantages
- Automatically switches capacitor steps based on system demand.
- Improves power factor and reduces unnecessary reactive power flow.
- Suitable for industrial plants, commercial buildings, and utility-connected sites.
- Available with detuned filter and protection options when required.

Optimizing power factor and reducing utility penalties, these panels switch capacitor steps dynamically within main Low Voltage Switchgear (LV Switchgear) networks. They help stabilize voltage across the entire electrical power distribution system. By compensating for reactive power, they reduce the loading on incoming Medium Voltage Switchgear (MV Switchgear), substation Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS), and main Metal-Clad Switchgear feeders.
