Design of an Automatic Power Factor Correction Panel
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: A low power factor leads to inefficient energy use, higher utility bills, energy losses, and equipment strain, often resulting in penalties from utility companies. Maintaining a power factor close to unity reduces costs and improves efficiency. APFC panels automate power factor correction by monitoring voltage and current, dynamically switching capacitor banks to compensate for reactive power, eliminating manual errors, and enhancing response time.
