The power factor controller (PFC) serves as the central control unit for automatic capacitor bank systems. Its primary function is to manage the switching of capacitors in order to attain the desired user-defined target power factor (cosɸ). By incorporating a power factor controller, it becomes feasible to streamline operations, expedite problem-solving, and lower the expenses associated with supervisory systems.
A Power Factor Controller enhances electrical system efficiency by maintaining optimal power factor, minimizing wasteful reactive power. It monitors and adjusts capacitor banks in real-time, improving energy efficiency, reducing costs, and increasing system capacity while maintaining a high-quality power supply.
Improving the power factor reduces the amount of reactive power, which in turn, lowers the overall power consumption.
By optimizing the power factor, it helps in freeing up capacity on the supply system.
A better power factor contributes to reduced losses in the power distribution system.
