We are all about Power Factor Correction
What is Power Factor Correction?
Power Factor Correction (PFC) is a method used to improve electrical efficiency by aligning the voltage and current waveforms. When the power factor is low, electrical systems consume more power than necessary, leading to wasted energy and higher costs. PFC optimizes the power factor, ensuring that more of the power drawn from the grid is effectively converted into useful work.
Why is Power Factor Correction Important?
A poor power factor can lead to increased electricity costs, inefficient energy use, and added strain on electrical infrastructure. Correcting the power factor provides several advantages:
Lower Energy Costs – Many utility companies charge penalties for low power factor. PFC helps reduce these costs by improving energy efficiency.
Increased Load Capacity – By optimizing power usage, PFC allows existing electrical circuits to handle more load without the need for costly upgrades.
Better Voltage Stability – A higher power factor reduces voltage drops and improves the performance of electrical equipment.
Reduced Energy Waste – PFC minimizes system losses, making operations more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Carbon Emissions Reduction - PFC lowers carbon emissions by reducing energy waste and improving electrical efficiency, which decreases the overall demand on power plants and minimizes fossil fuel consumption.
How Does Power Factor Correction Work?
PFC is achieved through two primary methods:
Passive Power Factor Correction – Uses capacitors and inductors to counteract the reactive power in the system, improving efficiency in a simple and cost-effective way.
Active Power Factor Correction – Utilizes electronic controllers to dynamically adjust the current, ensuring a consistently high power factor across various loads.
