Save Your Money

with our Capacitors

• Power factor correction is the established method of reducing electricity costs in industry and commerce.
• You can eliminate waste in electricity consumption by improving your power factor and saving up to 20% on your electricity costs.
• This could also help you to increase your output without the need to install new cables or extra supply capacity.
• You can contact us to find out how to do this because we are offering you a good solution on power factor check.

What is Power Factor Correction?

Most load on an electrical distribution system fall into one of three categories; resistive , inductive or capacitive. In your own plant, the most common is likely to be inductive. Typical examples of this include transformers, fluorescent lighting and AC induction motors. Most inductive loads use a conductive coil winding to produce  and electromagnetic field, allowing the motor to function.

All inductive loads require two kinds of power to operate:

• Active power (k watts) - to produce the motive force

• Reactive power (kvar) - to energize the magnetic field

The operating power from the distribution system is composed of both active (working) and reactive (non-working) elements. The active power does useful work in driving the motor whereas the reactive power only provides the magnetic field.

THE BAD NEWS IS THAT YOU ARE CHARGED FOR BOTH !

As the power factor drops the system becomes less efficient. A drop from 1.0 to 0.9 results in 15% more current being required for the same load.

A power factor of 0.7 requires approximately 43% more current; and a power factor of 0.5 requires approximately 100% (twice as much) to handle the same load.

The objective , therefore , should be to reduce the reactive power drawn from the supply by improving the power factor.

If an AC motor were 100% efficient it would consume only active power but, since most motors are only 75% to 80% efficient, they operate at a low power factor. This means poor energy and cost efficiency because the Electricity Board charge you at penalty rates for a poor power factor.

Additional potential benefits include:

• Reduction of heating looses in transformers and distribution equipment

• Longer plant life

• stabilized voltage levels

• Increase in capacity of your existing system and equipment

• Improved profitability

What do I have to do to save Money

   Simple contact us for all enquiries. This will be done quickly, with no interruption to your operations and with absolutely no obligation on your part. We shall then be able to advise you of the savings you can achieve which could be as much as 20% of your current electricity bill.

 Do you need to take action if you already have capacitors?

 Modern capacitors are made of – self healing – moralized  polypropylene film. If they Develop a fault, then instead of the whole capacitor failing, only a small section of the metallization burns away leaving the capacitor working at a lower output. Over the years, your capacitors could have lost so much output that you could be paying the penalty for a power factor.

We always recommend to go for Two Layer – Mixed Dielectric / Film + Foil Capacitors.

 Do you have a problem with harmonics?

 If you have…. 

• Nuisance tripping of circuit breakers or fuses blowing.

• Erroneous operation of controls system equipment

• Electronic communication interference

• Excessive heating and failure of transformers, motors, capacitors, fluorescent lighting ballasts etc

• Excessive neutral current
