Power factor correction (PFC) is a newer technology used in computer laboratories and offices, especially for industrial and large commercial motors as a means of reducing the inductive component of the current and consequently reduce losses in the supply. PFC has no effect on the operation of the motor itself.
Power factor is the ratio between KW and the KVA drawn by and electrical load where KW is the actual power and the product KVA is the apparent load power. Simply it is measure of how efficiently the load current is being converted into useful work output. More particularly is a good indicator of the effect of the load current on the efficiency of your electrical system.
Before offering a solution to our customers, Mark Arnold Electrical Engineering does a power study analysis of a customer’s supply network. This allows us to better understand your power consumption, especially on how power factor correction can help with both on a sound and accurate information. We also consider physical constraints before installation of equipment.
We minimize downtime incurred as a result of the installation of our equipment, through careful planning and consultation with our customers to suit the relevant conditions. Customers usually notice an immediate improvement in power factor, a more efficient use of your electrical generated power and of course monthly savings in your electricity bills.
