Power solutions that pay for themselves

Power Factor Correction improves the efficiency of your plant or generator and reduces wasted energy. Most clients recover the cost of PFC in less than 1 year.

How it works

Power factor is the ratio between kW (actual load power) and kVA (apparent load power). A low power factor means inefficiency, costing you money. By installing suitably sized switched capacitors, we bring your power factor closer to 1 (around 0.98), which:

Minimize waste energy with power factor correction

Once in place, the cost of PFC can usually be recovered in less than 1 year.

Improve generator or plant efficiency with power factor correction and liberate more kW from the available supply making you more cost-efficient. Power factor is the ratio between the kW and the kVA drawn by an electrical load where the kW is the actual load power and the kVA is the apparent load power. It is a measure of how effectively the current is being converted into useful work output and more particularly is a good indicator of the effect of the load current on the efficiency of the supply system.

By installing suitably sized switched capacitors into the power distribution circuit, the Power Factor is improved and the value becomes closer to 1 or 0.98 thus minimizing wasted energy, improving the efficiency of a plant, liberating more kW from the available supply an0 saving you money!
