RuncoN (A Brand Of Maurya Enterprises)

RuncoN APFC Panel is an electrical device designed to improve the power factor of a system by automatically managing the reactive power in the electrical network. Power factor measures how effectively electrical power is being used; maintaining a high power factor is essential for reducing energy losses and avoiding penalties from utility companies.

Key Components of an APFC Panel:

1. Capacitor Banks:

   • Provides the reactive power needed to balance the inductive loads in the system.
   • Capacitors are automatically added or removed as per the system's requirements.

2. Power Factor Controller:

   • The brain of the panel that monitors the power factor in real time.
   • Sends commands to switch capacitor banks on or off to maintain the desired power factor.

3. Contactors or Thyristors:

   • Used to switch capacitor banks on and off.
   • Thyristor-based systems enable faster and noiseless switching.

4. Current Transformer (CT):

   • Measures the current in the system and provides input to the controller.

5. Switchgear and Protection Devices:

   • Includes MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers), MCCBs (Molded Case Circuit Breakers), and fuses to protect against overloading and short circuits.

6. Display and Monitoring Units:

   • Displays real-time data such as power factor, voltage, and current.
   • May include advanced monitoring features for remote management.

Working Principle:

1. Monitoring:

   • The APFC panel continuously measures the system's power factor using the current transformer.

2. Correction:

   • If the power factor drops below a predefined value (e.g., 0.95), the controller activates the appropriate capacitor banks to supply reactive power.

3. Optimization:

   • The panel ensures that the power factor is optimized without over-correction, which could lead to over-voltage conditions.

Benefits of an APFC Panel:

1. Improved Power Factor:

   • Reduces electricity bills by avoiding utility penalties for low power factor.

2. Energy Efficiency:

   • Minimizes energy losses in the system, improving overall efficiency.

3. Increased Equipment Life:

   • Reduces strain on transformers, generators, and cables by lowering reactive power demand.

4. Cost Savings:

   • Decreases operational costs through better utilization of electrical energy.

Applications:

• Industrial plants
• Commercial buildings
• Data centers
• Hospitals
• Large retail outlets

RuncoN EACH PHASE POWER FACTOR PANEL FOR UNBALANCE LOAD  is an electrical control panel designed to improve power factor by automatically adjusting the reactive power in a system. This is achieved by switching capacitor banks on or off based on the load requirements. APFC panels are commonly used in industrial and commercial installations to ensure efficient energy use and reduce penalties for low power factor from utility providers.

 Working Principle:

• Power Factor Monitoring:
  • The APFC controller measures the real-time power factor using data from CTs.
• Reactive Power Adjustment:
  • If the power factor falls below a set threshold, the controller activates capacitor banks to provide the required reactive power.
• Automatic Operation:
  • Capacitor banks are switched on/off based on load variations to maintain a desired power factor.

Advantages of APFC Panels:

1. Improved Power Factor:
   • Enhances energy efficiency and reduces power losses.
2. Cost Savings:
   • Minimizes penalties for low power factor from utility providers.
3. System Protection:
   • Reduces strain on electrical equipment by maintaining voltage stability.
4. Automatic Operation:
   • No manual intervention needed, reducing labor and error risks.
5. Compact Design:

Saves space compared to traditional capacitor bank setups.

Industrial capacitor panels are essential components in electrical systems, used primarily to improve power factor and stabilize the supply of electrical energy in industrial settings.
