        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

        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

        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

        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
