Power Factor Correction

Power Factor Correction was first used industrially at the turn of the 20th Century. This proven technology utilises fundamental principles of electrical engineering and offers many benefits to the industrial electricity consumer; from improved energy efficiency and electricity cost savings to reduced I²R losses and extra kVA availability for plant expansion

What is Power Factor Correction? PFC - A Beginner's Guide.

Enspec Power Ltd (EPL) design and manufacture the VArComp^® range of reactive compensators for all reactive power applications including power factor correction schemes.

VArComp^® compensators are manufactured up to any kVAr output (capacitive or inductive) at all voltage levels from 400Vac - 500kVac to provide the right solution to your specific site demand or requirement (fully enclosed up to 36kV). Application of the latest technology, quality assurance and extensive experience is built into every VArComp^® product which includes:

Static capacitor / reactor banks
Detuned power factor correction
Balanced VAr harmonic filters
Real-time power factor correction
Voltage-flicker compensators

Automatic power factor correction
Multi-limb harmonic filters
Real-time harmonic filters
‘C’ type harmonic filters
Dynamic reactive power control

Whether you are looking to apply power factor correction simply to improve your energy efficiency or require a complex static compensation system to ensure Grid Compliance, EPL can provide a turnkey solution to all of your reactive power and harmonic filtration requirements from initial feasibility studies through to load surveying, system modelling, design, manufacture, installation and maintenance.
