APFC Panels [Panels for
Automatic Correction
& control of Power
Factor] |
|
|
Hanut India offers
panels for automatic
correction and control
of power
factor.

Hanut
India's APFC panels
help customers in
maintaining near unity
power factor in their
establishments even under
varing load conditions.
Investment in APFC panel is
a very SMART decision with
very high rate
of return.
APFC panel protects
the customer from poor
power factor and associated
problems.
Poor power factor leads to
following problems:
Excessive kVA demand for a
given kW load resulting in
higher
electricity bill
penalty from the state
electricity board
high line currents resulting
in high ohmic losses
excessive voltage drops and
voltage fluctuation harming
the equipment
and reducing their
efficiency
It is true that a properly
designed APFC panel pays
back for itself in
a very short time span.

Features
of Hanut India's APFC
panel
* The APFC relay uses
intelligent switching
algorithm to reduce the
number of capacitor bank
switching operations
required to attain the
required KVAR.
* The intelligent switching
algorithm of the power
factor control relay
also uses the capacitor
banks evenly thereby
allowing uniform aging of
the capacitors and the
contractors.
* APFC relay gives the
facility to operate the panel
in
manual
mode
in case of special
circumstances.
* The APFC panel is
liberally sized. This allows
for systematic
placement of the components
and easy maintenance in
future. Panel is
designed for indoor use. It
is IP41 rated with forced
cooling.
* To prevent tampering with
the setting of the APFC
relay a secondary
glass door with sealing knob
is provided to cover the
relay.
* A system is as good as the
components it is made from.
Hanut India
uses only branded & high
quality components in its
APFC relay
panels. For example
APFC relay are from : EPCOS
/ Schneider / HPL
Capacitor duty contractors
[with inrush current
limiting circuit] are
from:
EPCOS / Schneider / Eaton
Power factor correction
capacitors are: Heavy
duty models of
EPCOS /
Schneider
* Thermal management: High
temperature is detrimental
to the
performance
and service life of the
power factor correction
capacitors. To protect
power factor correction
capacitors from high
temperature they are
optimally placed at the
bottom of the cabinet with
liberal spacing
between the banks. Also one
AC 220V operated exhaust fan
is provided in
the
capacitor bank section to
throw out the heat.
* Safety of the electrical
equipment and of the
maintenance staff have
been
given top priority while
designing and building the
APFC panel.
Capacitor manufacturers
installation instructions
are followed. The
power factor correction
capacitors are mounted on a
properly
earthed stainless steel
platform. An instruction
manual for proper
usage is supplied with the
APFC panel. Contractors,
MCBs etc. of
recommened ratings are
provided.
* Descriptive alarms: APFC
panel generates visual
alarms for faults
[over & under
compensation, over &
under voltage, high THD
harmonics in the supply] so
that faults can be
attended to before serious
damage can take place.
Additional 'alarm
becon' can be provided on
top of the APFC panel to
draw
the attention of maintenance
staff quickly.

Like with its other products
Hanut India can customize
its PFC panels
to meet the customer's /
site's exact requirements.
Dynamic
APFC
panels with thyristor
based fast switching of
capacitor
banks is also available.
APFC
panels with detuned
reactors [harmonic
filters] are also
manufactured by Hanut
India.
