Power Factor Corrector

Power Factor Corrector

We offer PFC is an active solid state power factor controller capable of correcting both displacement and distortion power factors, compensating the reactive current drawn by the load with a priority to correct displacement power factor.
 
PFC with adequate sizing, improves the power factor to near unity (>0.99) dynamically. Since it is an active compensator, compensating both inductive and capacitive (+ and-) reactive power is achieved. This avoids dangers of resonance and over compensation like in thyristor switched capacitor banks. Power factor capacitors are fully eliminated in this configuration. Systems can also be programmed and set to provide a specified PF if desired.

FEATURES:

• Ideal system to achieve near unity PF (>0.99) to take full advantage of incentives provided by electric utility companies.
• Can also be programmed to achieve any specified reference PF
• DSP controlled digital system, compensation is done within 10 to 20 m sec (< 1 cycle)
• Highly reliable IGBT based PWM technique.
• Avoid dangers of over compensation and resonance.
• Avoids cable heating and stray tripping of breaker and protection relay.
• Reduces flicker, sag and surge.
• Full utilization of the sanctioned power and reduced demand charges and tariff
• Three phase currents in the network also gets balanced to a large extent by PFC
