SYNOPSIS

The poor efficiency of electrical loads can be contributed by the inductive loads where it consumes “Reactive Power” that makes electrical network inefficient and low power factor. The low power factor overloads the power station, reduces the efficiency of the equipments, capacity of transformers, sizes of cables and capacity of switchgears. Traditionally, we use Power Factor Correction (PFC) Capacitors or Synchronous Generators to improve the Power Factor.

In this session, the presenter will focus on LV PFC Capacitor - IEC60831 and IEC61921 recommendation for the Selection, Design and Operation of the PFC Capacitor bank. This session will also explain the factor’s affecting the life of the Capacitor and how Schneider Electric contributes to provide the best PFC Offers to have increased Safety, Reliability and Performance.
