Power Factor Correction Equipment

Electrical equipment that requires the creation of a magnetic field to operate such as motors & motor driven machines, induction heaters and fluorescent lighting draw a current which ‘lags’ behind the voltage. This lag is termed Power Factor.

Why install Power Factor Correction Equipment?

Improving a systems power factor reduces the total power consumed by an electrical installation and will provide the following benefits:

* Cost saving - By reducing power consumed electricity costs are reduced.
* Extended equipment life - Reduced electrical burden on cables and electrical components.
* Increase load capacity - Provide additional capacity for other loads.
