APFC & reactive power compensation

Keep power-factor correction performing.

Poor power-factor correction may involve failed steps, switching issues, measurement or the characteristics of the connected load. We assess the complete bank before recommending component replacement or further power-quality analysis.

WHAT WE LOOK AT

Attention to
the whole system.

The final inspection and test scope is agreed for your equipment, access and operating conditions.

01

Physical condition & cooling

Inspect capacitors and associated equipment for swelling, leakage, heat damage, contamination and ventilation problems.

02

Step & switching checks

Assess the operation of capacitor steps, capacitor-duty contactors, fuses and associated components using the approved test plan.

03

Controller & measurement

Review controller settings and measurement arrangements, including the current-transformer information and observed step demand.

04

Application suitability

Consider capacitor voltage, duty, detuning and load changes before specifying replacements. Recommend power-quality investigation where needed.

SIGNS TO INVESTIGATE

When to take
a closer look.

  • Power factor remains low
  • Capacitor steps fail to connect
  • Frequent fuse or contactor failures
  • Swelling, overheating or controller alarms

MAKE THE FIRST STEP EASIER

What to share
with your enquiry.

  • Bank rating and individual step sizes
  • Controller model and settings
  • Available load or harmonic measurements
  • Capacitor and reactor nameplate photographs

A useful record of the work.

A step-by-step condition summary, controller observations and component or investigation recommendations for the installed bank.

Electrical inspection, servicing and testing are planned for qualified personnel under site-specific safety and isolation procedures. Testing of protective functions does not, by itself, certify an entire installation or safety system.
