What you need…
An analysis of the power demand of your installation can be performed by skilled personnel using modern instruments or electricity demand data can be obtained from your electricity supplier. Electroserv Pty Ltd provides this service. The maximum kVA (or kW) and Power Factor are required to enable determination of the required Capacitance (in kVAr) to correct the installation. A check on the distortion levels is also required.
A Power Factor Regulator keeps track of the power factor and automatically switches capacitors in and out as the load on the installation varies.
Power Factor Correction systems can be supplied in two forms:
- A single, completely assembled cabinet housing all the appropriate devices (capacitors, contactors, reactors and fuses etc.) or
- purpose built sub-assemblies which house all the required components for building into an existing switchboard.
