Power Factor Correction (PFC) Panel Boards

Power Factor Correction (PFC) Panel Boards are essential for enhancing the efficiency of electrical systems, particularly in industrial settings where inductive loads, such as motors and transformers, are prevalent. These inductive loads draw reactive power, leading to a phenomenon known as poor power factor, which can result in higher energy costs, excess strain on transformers.

PFC Panel Boards use capacitors to provide leading reactive power, which compensates for the lagging reactive power drawn by inductive loads. This helps to improve the overall power factor of the system, bringing it closer to unity (1.0), where all the power is used effectively.
