What does a Power Factor Correction Capacitor do?
Alpha Power Solutions supplies power factor correction capacitors that are designed for optimum performance and longevity. Our goal is to provide you with all the necessary information to assist you with the selection of power factor equipment to suit your requirements.
Power factor correction capacitors have no moving parts but are sensitive to elevated ambient temperatures. Optimal ventilation and regular cleaning of the capacitors are crucial to ensure optimal performance.
Power factor correction ensures that plant electrical equipment effectively converts electrical currents supplied by your power utility. This frees up capacity on the electrical supply of industrial and commercial plants and results in savings in electricity costs.
Capacitors supplied by Alpha Power Solutions have the following features:
Large flexibility in terms of electrical connections (available space for the electrical connections and retrofitting into existing installations).
Single phase capacitors offer the best heat dissipation characteristics and in the event of a failure, affect the performance of the affected capacitor bank to a lesser extent.
Modular three phase capacitors have been designed for quick and easy assembly into bank arrangements.
IP 40 aluminium casings allow optimum heat dissipation and the terminal block is manufactured from self-extinguishing insulation material.
Our capacitors comply with: CEI 33-5/670, CEI EN 60 831 1 & 2, UL 810, and IEC 831-1-2. Compliance with these standards ensures that quality is guaranteed
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a power capacitor?
Power capacitors offset the effects of inductive loads, which contribute to reactive power consumption. When removing or adding capacitors in response to varying load conditions, a power factor correction controller (capacitor controller) helps to maintain a near-unity power factor.
What are harmonics?
Harmonics are undesirable distortions in the voltage or current waveforms that are generated by certain types of loads. Harmonic filtering contributes to the maintenance of a cleaner power supply as well as improving the overall quality of the electrical system.
What is a power factor correction controller?
A Power Factor Correction (PFC) controller manages the performance and protection of a PFC system.
How does a PFC controller work?
Based on the current and voltage feedback received by the controller, the controller actively manages the various capacitor banks at its disposal in order to achieve the desired power factor.
How does power factor correction work?
Power factor correction is the process of compensating for a lagging current by creating a leading current by connecting capacitors to the supply so that the power factor is adjusted to be as close to unity as possible.
We offer power factor correction capacitor assessment!
We offer our clients the option to monitor their PFC equipment (as well as associated capacitors) remotely. We also offer Power Factor Correction Equipment maintenance & service packages, and provide training to your maintenance personnel.
Our equipment lasts a minimum of 10 years. Contact us for more on power correction capacitors.
