1.What is a Capacitor Bank Panel?
A Capacitor Bank Panel is an electrical panel that contains multiple capacitors connected in steps (stages). These are used to supply leading reactive power to counteract the lagging reactive power caused by inductive loads like motors.
Capacitor banks improve the power factor and reduce the burden on your electrical system.
2.What is an APFC Panel?
An APFC (Automatic Power Factor Correction) Panel is an advanced version of the capacitor bank panel where:
Power Factor Meter continuously monitors PF
APFC Relay receives data from the meter
Relay switches capacitor stages ON/OFF automatically
3. Where It’s Used in the Panel?
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Power Factor Meter | Measure PF in real-time |
| APFC Relay | Decision maker based on PF value |
| Capacitor Steps | Load correction device (e.g., 5/10/15 kVAR) |
| Contactor | Switches capacitors ON/OFF |
| Thyristor Modules (optional) | For fast capacitor switching |
4.Real Industrial Applications
Capacitor Bank Panels with PF meters are used in:
| Industry Type | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Food Processing (Amul, Nestle) | Cold rooms, packaging lines |
| Manufacturing (Maruti, Tata) | Conveyor motors, robotic machines |
| Pharma (Sun Pharma, Cipla) | HVAC, blowers, motorised filters |
| Steel & Cement (JSW, ACC) | Arc furnaces, crushers, elevators |
| Commercial Malls | Escalators, central ACs, lighting |
