Power Factor Correction
Benefits of Power Factor Correction (PFC)
In many commercial and industrial settings, large machinery draws reactive power which doesn’t perform useful work, but contributes to the total load on the electrical supply.
By installing power factor correction equipment, your business can:
​
Reduce demand charges: Power companies often charge extra when a business has a low power factor, as it places a heavier burden on the grid.
Increase energy efficiency: Less apparent power is needed to deliver the same amount of useful work, resulting in more efficient use of electricity.
Free up capacity: Improved power factor can reduce the load on transformers and distribution equipment, potentially avoiding costly infrastructure upgrades.
Reduce voltage drops and system losses: Improving the power factor help maintain stable voltage levels, which benefits sensitive equipment and overall performance.
