An optimally designed power factor correction system saves money and increases the utilization of the electrical infrastructure.
All electrical loads with a magnetic circuit like motors, ballasts for lamps, transformers and pumps require reactive power to build up the magnetic field. The reactive power for the magnetic field has to be provided by the utility same as for active power, even though that type of energy is to the end user of little value. The reactive power oscillates with double the line frequency between supplier and end user (Power Oscillation) and causes losses. The phase shift of apparent power to active power is reactive power. The power factor correction compensates the consumed reactive power where it is used with a power factor correction system.
When the electrical network is loaded with reactive power, less active power can be transmitted or used. The reactive power leads to a higher current and to higher transmission losses.
The non usable reactive energy has to be provided by the utility at a cost. 40 to 50% of the consumed active power in the form of reactive power is usually not charged to the end user by the electricity provider. The excess consumption of reactive power will have to be paid for and is shown on the electrical utility bill.
Power factor correction systems can be installed to avoid the unnecessary cost of paying for reactive energy. Power factor compensation systems provide the capacitive power to eliminate reactive power that is inductive. With a PFC (Power Factor Correction) correctly designed is the phase shift Cosine φ between 0.9 and 0.99 inductive at the point of common coupling (Point where the responsibility changes from utility to end user). This way the grid and end user infrastructure is not unnecessary charged with oscillating reactive power.
The correct size of the PFC system can be obtained from the electrical utility bill or measured on site. Our calculation tool helps you to size the PFC.
The pay back of power factor correction depends on how high the charge for reactive power is on the utility bill in your company. The pay back can be calculated with the electrical utility bill. Eliminated reactive power cost helps you to become more competitive and reduce sustainable CO2. The pay back on power factor correction is most of the time very fast and attractive.
