Automatic Power Factor Controller- APFC

Automatic Power Factor Controllers (APFC) – Enhance Power Efficiency with Smart Reactive Power Management

An Automatic Power Factor Controller (APFC) is a vital component for improving energy efficiency, reducing electricity costs, and maintaining optimal power quality in industrial and commercial setups. At GoSwitchgear, we offer high-performance APFC controllers, including the RISH PFC 12, designed to regulate and optimize reactive power compensation.

Key Features of Our APFC Controllers:

  • Smart Reactive Power Management: Controls external capacitor banks to match reactive power demand, reducing the load on power sources.
  • Auto-Initialization Function: Automatically detects the number of capacitor banks, kVAR values, and phase correction angles for seamless operation.
  • Multiple Output Options: Available in 6, 8, and 12-stage relay outputs, with individual capacitor programming as fixed, faulty, or automatic.
  • Advanced Protection & Alarms: Includes over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, under-current, over-temperature, and harmonic distortion protection.
  • Intelligent Switching Algorithms: Ensures equal utilization of capacitors while monitoring capacitor health to prevent failures.
  • Harmonic Analysis & THD Monitoring: Supports real-time monitoring up to the 31st harmonic, ensuring power quality compliance.
  • Energy Measurement & Logging: Tracks active, reactive, and apparent energy (Import/Export), power demand, and event logs.
  • Programmable Settings: Customizable power factor targets (0.8 Lag to 0.8 Lead), switching time (10 to 1800 seconds), and system CT ratios (1A to 9999A).
  • Communication Ready: Optional MODBUS (RS485) interface for remote monitoring and integration with energy management systems.
