Automatic Power Factor Control Panel (APFC)
APFC or Automatic Power Factor Control Panels serve as indispensable assets in the realm of electrical management, particularly for industries grappling with substantial electrical loads. Central to their function is the enhancement of Power Factor, a pivotal metric in evaluating electrical consumption efficiency. Defined as the ratio of active power to apparent power, Power Factor plays a pivotal role in curbing electrical expenditure in the face of soaring energy costs.
In contemporary times, where the price of electricity continues to escalate, the imperative to optimize Power Factor becomes increasingly pronounced. APFC Panels emerge as practical solutions tailored to address this pressing need. By swiftly and effectively managing fluctuating and dispersed loads, these control panels play a pivotal role in maintaining high Power Factor levels, thereby mitigating operational losses and potential penalties imposed by electricity regulatory bodies.
Renowned for their efficacy and reliability, APFC Panels manufactured by us exemplify a commitment to quality craftsmanship. Available in various current ratings to accommodate diverse industrial applications, our panels are engineered to deliver unparalleled performance and longevity. With our APFC Panels, businesses can proactively tackle the challenges posed by inefficient Power Factor, ushering in a new era of cost-effective and sustainable electrical management.
Tailored Solutions for Every Industry:
Understanding that each industrial setting presents its own set of demands and constraints, we offer customized APFC Panels that cater to specific requirements. Whether it's fine-tuning Power Factor in response to fluctuating loads or ensuring seamless integration with existing electrical infrastructure, our tailored solutions are engineered to deliver optimal performance and efficiency.
Maximizing Efficiency and Safety:
In our commitment to tailoring solutions, we prioritize not only maximizing efficiency but also ensuring paramount safety in every aspect of our APFC or Automatic Power Factor Control Panels. Understanding that operational excellence is inseparable from safety, we meticulously engineer our solutions to excel in both domains.
Construction features: The panel will be metal enclosed, sheet steel cubical pattern, extendable type dead front, floor / wall mounting type & suitable for indoor / outdoor mounting.
The panel boards will be totally enclosed type, dust and vermin proof. Synthetic rubber gasket between all adjacent units and beneath all covers will be provided to render the just and vermin proof to provide a degree of protection of IP 45. All doors and covers will be fully gasketed with synthetic rubber and will be lockable.
The panel boards will be fabricated with CRCA sheet steel of thickness not less than 1.6 / 2.0 mm and will be folder and braced as necessary to provide a rigid for all components. The doors and covers will be constructed from CRCA sheet steel of thickness 1.6 mm. Joints of any kind in sheet metal will be elect. Welded and all welding slag ground off and welding pit wiped smooth plumber metal.
All panels and covers will be properly fitted and square with the frame. The holes in the panel will be correctly positioned.
Fixing screws will enter holes tapped into an adequate thickness of metal or provided with hank nuts. Self-threading screws will not be used in the construction of the switchboards.
Different type of harnesses are being used for various starters meter wiring etc, as per IS-8623 standards. All components/instruments in the panel are leveled with proper marking which enable even a layman to repair the equipments. The standard harnesses enable easy inter-changeability of feeders 1 / 1.5 sq mm copper flexible wire is used for control wiring. All cable ends are thimbled and starters are wired up to ready to use termination point.
Different type of harnesses are being used for All panels shall be completely factory wire ready for connecting to the equipment. All control wiring will be done by PVC insulated copper wire of sizes 1 / 1.5 sq mm fitted with identifications color ferrules Termination of wires on the both ends will be by using cable lugs wiring shall be properly dressed bunched and supported by āPā clips.
The doors are designed specially to provide total sealing. The door hinges are designed to accommodate the door on easily recoverable and replaceable pins with soft rubber gaskets for complete dust proof sealing.
The cubicles are chemically treated with pretreatment chemical i.e derusting, pickling and phosphating prior to two coats of zinc chromate with red oxide primer with putty work and with two final coats of light grey shade No. RAL 7032 or approved shade of customers. Each coat of paint well be properly stove & paint thickness will be not less than 60 to 80 microns.
All accessories used are of reputed makes companies and have been selected after vigorous scrutiny standards ensuring long life performance.
