Advantages of APFC Controller
Reduces maximum demand and KVAhMaintains the PF near unity hence no penalties
Improves equipment life
Saves money
Thyrister Controlled APFC Panels
For special cases like fluctuating loads, we manufacture thyrister controlled APFC panels.Thyrister panels have an advantage of fast switching as compared to contactor thus controling the PF within seconds.

Heatcon manufactures APFC control panels with state of the art LNT make APFC etaCON controller.
The etaCON controller precisely controls the switching of capacitor banks.
For special cases like fluctuating loads, we manufactre thyrister controlled APFC panels.
Thyrister panels have an advantage of fast switching as compared to contactor thus controling the PF within seconds.
Need for APFC
The switching of inductive loads like motors and transformers is erratic and leads to sudden increase and decrease in PF component.Low PF draws a higher internal current and the excessive heat generated will damage and/or shorten equipment life.
Moreover penalty is issued by electricity boards for not maintaining the PF near unity.
Stages
Our standard APFC models are in 3,5,7,8 and 12 stage models for better step resolution and hunt free capacitor switching.The contactors are used in APFC panels for switching power capacitors.
Standard Features
Automatic recognition of current flow directionFlashing of Alarm code in case of abnormal conditions
Online display of PF, Voltage, Current, kVAr, capacitor overload
Right capacitor-reactor combination selection prevents capacitor over-current
Average weekly power factor measurement (last 7 days)
Keypad lock feature
Selection of capacitors depends on the amount of reactive power compensation required
Remedy - Install our APFC panel that precisely controls the PF by switching on/off the capacitor banks.
