APFC Panel

APFC Panel

Our Automatic Power Factor Control (APFC) Panels are designed to maintain the desired power factor automatically by switching capacitor banks on or off according to the reactive power requirement of the system. This ensures optimum utilization of electrical energy, reduces penalties from utilities, and improves overall system efficiency.


These panels are engineered in compliance with IS 8623 / IEC 61439 standards for maximum safety, reliability, and operational efficiency.
