Electrical Panel for Power Factor Correction Capacitor Banks

⚡ Power factor correction panels are essential components in modern electrical infrastructure, designed to correct the power factor and reduce reactive energy in an electrical installation.
By automatically regulating the reactive power, these panels help:

• increase energy efficiency,
• protect equipment,
• reduce network losses,
• avoid penalties from energy suppliers.

🛠️ How It Works
The panels automatically switch capacitor steps on and off depending on the real-time load and energy consumption.
This process keeps the power factor within optimal values, ensuring efficient energy use and minimizing unnecessary grid loading.

⚙️ Main Components

• Power capacitors

• Special contactors for reactive loads

• Automatic power factor controller

• Protection devices (fuses, breakers)

• Forced ventilation (optional, depending on load)

📏 Compliance and Construction
Panels are built according to:

• SR EN 60831 – Capacitors for reactive energy compensation

• EN 61439 – Low-voltage electrical switchgear and controlgear assemblies
  Enclosure is made of metal sheet, IP40 or higher, resistant to dust, moisture, and mechanical shocks, suitable for industrial and commercial environments.

🏢 Applications

• Industrial plants and factories

• Commercial centers and office buildings

• Warehouses and production halls

• Transformer stations

• Private electrical networks requiring consumption optimization

✅ Benefits
✔️ Lower reactive energy charges
