Capacitor panel
A capacitor panel, also known as a capacitor bank or power factor correction (PFC) panel, is a device used to improve the power factor in electrical power distribution systems. These panels are essential in industrial, commercial, and even residential settings to enhance energy efficiency, reduce electricity costs, and improve the stability of the power supply.
Key Features
- Power Factor Improvement: Capacitor panels help in reducing the phase difference between voltage and current, thus improving the power factor
- Energy Savings: By improving the power factor, these panels help in reducing power losses, thereby saving energy and reducing electricity bills.
- Voltage Regulation: Capacitors help in maintaining voltage levels within desired ranges, improving the quality of power supply.
- Harmonic Filtering: Some advanced capacitor panels come with harmonic filters to reduce harmonic distortion in the system.
- Automatic Control: Equipped with automatic power factor controllers (APFC) to add or remove capacitors based on the load requirements.
