A Power Factor Correction (PFC) panel manufacturer is a specialist company that designs, fabricates, and supplies electrical control panels to improve power quality and energy efficiency. These panels, often referred to as Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) panels, are engineered to counteract the effects of a low power factor, which is a common issue in industrial and commercial settings with numerous inductive loads like motors, welding machines, and transformers. A low power factor leads to a higher consumption of 'reactive power, ' resulting in increased electricity bills and potential penalties from utility providers. The manufacturer's core expertise lies in building a system that automatically monitors the power factor and intelligently switches on or off a series of capacitor banks to neutralize this reactive power, thus bringing the power factor closer to the ideal value of unity (1.0).
