Power Factor Correction

Power factor is an important parameter that measures the Apparent Power
efficiency of electrical power utilisation. It represents the (kVA)
ratio of real power (kW) to apparent power (kVA). A low
power factor can result in increased energy consumption, Reactive Power
(kvar)
reduced system capacity, and additional strain on electrical Capacitor Bank
(kvar)
equipment. This is where power factor correction comes into 2
play.
Power factor correction is a technique used to improve the
power factor of an electrical system. By installing power
factor correction capacitors or other reactive power Active Power
(kW)
compensation devices, the system can effectively balance
reactive power and bring the power factor closer to unity. The diagram shows the power factor before and after power factor
correction has been applied.
The benefits of installing power factor correction include
reduced energy costs, improved energy efficiency, increased
system capacity, improved voltage regulation, and enhanced
equipment lifespan.

Harmonics Mitigation

Harmonics are unwanted electrical disturbances that can
occur in power systems due to nonlinear loads. Nonlinear
loads, such as variable frequency drives, computer Discover the power of quantifying and measuring
equipment, and LED lighting, can introduce harmonic harmonics on your system. At IPD, our team of

active harmonic filters ensure a clean and stable power
supply, reducing equipment downtime, improving power
quality, and minimising energy losses.
