CELEC Power Factor Correction

Power Factor Correction (PFC) is all about making your electrical system more efficient. When you use machines like motors, transformers, or large appliances, they don’t use all the electricity effectively. Some of it gets wasted as reactive power, which doesn’t do any useful work but still adds to your electricity bill. PFC  (Power Factor Corrections) device helps fix this by adding capacitors or special devices that balance out the wasted power, so your system runs more smoothly. Many businesses use PFC to avoid extra charges from power companies and keep their systems running efficiently.

Celec Power Factor Correction (PFC) devices help businesses and industries optimize their power usage by improving power factor and reducing energy waste. These devices, including Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) panels and power factor controlller relays, ensure that electrical systems run efficiently by minimizing reactive power. By using Celec PFC solutions, you can lower electricity bills, reduce power losses, prevent penalties from utility providers, and extend the lifespan of electrical equipment.

Celec products are designed with advanced technology, reliable components, and intelligent monitoring to ensure smooth and automatic correction of power factor, making them a trusted choice for efficient energy management.

Discover the importance of power factor correction and optimize your electrical system for maximum efficiency.

Power quality is critical to efficient operation of equipment.

One contributing element to power quality is power factor. Power Factor Correction (PFC) aims to improve power factor and hence power quality, utilising capacitors to offset usually inductive loads, for example motors. PFC systems increase the efficiency of power supply, delivering immediate cost savings on electricity.

When is Power Factor Correction right for you?
Are you experiencing any of the following issues?

  • High electricity bills due to penalties for low power factor.
  • Voltage drops affecting the performance of your machines.
  • Overloaded transformers or cables struggling to handle excess current.
  • Frequent equipment failures caused by inefficient power usage.
  • Unstable power supply leading to downtime or inefficiencies.

If so, Power Factor Correction may be the right solution for your electrical system.

How Does Power Factor Correction Work?

To understand Power Factor Correction, it is important to first grasp the concept of Power Factor. In simple terms, Power Factor measures how efficiently incoming power is used in an electrical system. It is defined as the ratio of Real Power to Apparent Power, where:

  • Real Power is the energy that actually powers equipment and performs useful, productive work.
  • Reactive Power is required by certain equipment (e.g., transformers, motors, and relays) to create a magnetic field for operation. However, while necessary, it does not contribute to actual work output.
  • Apparent Power is the total power required, combining both Real and Reactive Power.

A system may require Power Factor Correction if its power factor falls below 90% (or 0.9). This is because a poor power factor can lead to equipment instability, increased energy costs, and higher electrical demand. As a result, more current is needed to perform the same amount of work, placing unnecessary strain on the system.

To address this issue, Power Factor Correction improves efficiency by optimizing power quality and reducing the load on the electricity distribution system. Specifically, PFC equipment achieves this by using capacitor banks to offset an inductive load or reactors when dealing with a capacitive load.
