Power Factor (PF) stands as a crucial indicator of power quality and efficiency within a supply system. A PF rating below 0.9 is deemed low, while a rating of 1 (unity) represents the ideal scenario. The prevalence of low PF in industrial and commercial settings often stems from outdated or underperforming electrical equipment. Culprits commonly include air conditioning compressor motors, idling machines, and antiquated fluorescent lighting systems. These inefficiencies impose a burden on the incoming power supply system.
Recognising the significance of Power Factor Correction (PFC), supply authorities endorse it as a proven method for curbing electricity costs and mitigating adverse effects. Typically, these issues can be addressed by installing capacitor banks across the incoming power supply mains or other relevant sections of the power infrastructure.
Elevating the PF within your industrial or commercial premises offers an array of advantages:
