Why Install Power Factor Correction?
The use of Power Factor Correction Equipment reduces the amount of electrical current consumed by industrial and commercial consumers. This in turn reduces the distribution system losses leading to improved efficiency, cooler equipment operation, increased capacity of your existing supply system, longer equipment life and may result in lower electricity bills from your supply company.
Power Factor is the ratio of
“useful” power to “total” power consumed by an item of electrical plant. Electrical equipment requiring the creation of a magnetic field to operate, for
example: Motors
& motor driven machines
will all draw a current which is said to ‘lag’ behind the
voltage thus, producing a “lagging” Power Factor. Capacitors contained in most Power Factor Correction Equipment draw current that
is said to ’lead’ the voltage, thus producing a “leading” Power Factor. If Capacitors are
connected to a circuit that operates at a nominally lagging power factor, the
extent that the circuit lags is reduced proportionately. Circuits having no
resultant leading or lagging component are said to operate at a “unity” (1)
power factor, and the total energy consumed is equal to the useful energy
Why improve my Power Factor ?
Improving a systems power factor will reduce the total power consumed by an electrical installation and will provide the following benefits:
Financial saving - By reducing power consumed electricity costs are reduced.
Extended equipment life - Reduced electrical burden on cables and electrical components.
Increase load capacity - Provide additional capacity for other loads to be connected.
Environmental benefit - Reduced power consumption means less “Greenhouse” gas emissions and fossil fuel depletion by power stations.
