Automatic Power Factor Correction panels with heavy-duty capacitor banks, detuned reactors, and intelligent microprocessor controllers for utility penalty avoidance and energy savings.
Electricity utilities in Tamil Nadu (TANGEDCO) impose hefty penalties on industrial consumers whose power factor drops below 0.90. Aark Electro Tech manufactures high-efficiency APFC (Automatic Power Factor Correction) Panels in Karur, maintaining unity power factor (0.99 - 1.00) automatically, saving thousands in monthly electricity bills and extending equipment lifespan.
| Target Power Factor | Programmable (0.95 lag to 1.00 unity) |
|---|---|
| Step Configuration | 4, 8, 12, 14, 16 Stages (Binary / Equal / Custom steps) |
| Harmonic Detuning | 5.67%, 7%, 14% Detuned Copper/Aluminium Wound Reactors |
| Capacitor Duty Contactors | Specialized damping resistor contactors suppressing inrush current |
| Discharge Device | Discharge resistors discharging capacitor voltage to < 50V in 60 seconds |
| Cooling | Forced ventilation with temperature sensor interlock |
Spinning mills, textile processing, and garment factories in Karur, Tirupur, Erode.
Plastic molding, automotive component factories, and CNC machine shops in Tamil Nadu.
Foundries, rolling mills, and induction furnace plants.
Commercial malls, hospitals, and educational institutions.
By maintaining power factor above 0.99, it eliminates TANGEDCO low power factor surcharges, qualifies your plant for utility incentive rebates, reduces kVA billing demand, and minimizes cable I²R heat losses.
