What is Power Factor (P.F) ?

Power Factor (P.F) is the ratio of active power to apparent power – i.e P.F. = KW / KVA

Power Factor is the – so – to say – efficiency of utilization of electrical power.

It is obvious that KW = KVA X P.F. Thus for a given

voltage and active power (KW), the current drawn is inversely proportional to the load current.

The Electrical Utility i.e: Electricity Board, has to invest more for providing the same active power (KW),

if the power factor is low. It is for this reason that the Utility penalizes the users for Power Factor less than

a certain value – say 0.92. This also reflects as Penalty on Maximum Demand. Some Utilities also allow a

bonus for power factor above this value.

IT IS THUS NECESSARY FOR THE USER TO IMPROVE THE POWER FACTOR OF THE IR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS.

Why LEO COSFACTORTM (APFC) PANEL ?

As you are aware, it has becomes mandatory to maintain high power factor.

Electrical Power charges constitute the major running costs of Industrial Units.

LEO COSFACTORTM Capacitor Panel offers 2 way benefit to you – panalty for low power factor is avoided as also

KVA Electrical Demand Charges are reduced. The cost of this capacitor panel will only be a slight addition to the

capital and this cost can be recovered easily in a few months time after installation of LEO COSFACTORTM

Automatic Power Factor Control Panel. This is one of the most reliable and easiest means of saving of electricity

bills. Advantage of Automatic Power Factor Control (APFC) PANELS are following,

For the Electricity Board

Reduction in line losses

Reduction in Transformer Rating

Reduction in KVA Demand

Reduction in Switch gear Rating

More Consumers can be served from the same equipment

Increased life of the equipment

For the Consumer

Reduction in load Current

Reduction in Switch gear Rating

Penalty of Low P.F. is avoided

Penalty of excess Maximum Demand is avoided

Increased life of equipment

Overall reduction in Electricity Bills

Description of LEO COSFACTORTM Panels

The Panel provides all the necessary and sufficient facilities to implement a reliable and long life

Automatic Power Factor Control System. The panel is manufactured in Steel Sheet  of 14 and 16 SWG

duly powder coated. Two doors are provided. All instruments, switches etc. are provided on the top door.

The bottom door gives access to capacitors. The panel is provided with the cooling fan controlled by a

 thermostat to maintain internal temperature at asafe level. The main incoming cable connects to an

MCCB of appropriate rating. The three phase circuit comprises individual MCB’s for each capacitor

out for servicing without affecting the control of the other capacitor stages. An individual capacitor can be

switched on by putting is corresponding switch to ON position. The Automatic Power Factor Control Relay

is the VOLTEC Microprocessor COSROBOTTM that is the most advanced model. The total capacitor current

and voltage are measured by means of Syntron Digital Ammeter and Voltmeter with Selector Switches.Terminals

with shorting link arrangements are provided for connection to external CT on main incomer. The entire panel is

wired using high quality PVC insulated copper wire of appropriate type and size. Capacitors of best available make

are used
