CAPACITOR BANK PANEL – POWER FACTOR CORRECTION SOLUTION FOR BUSINESSES

Optimize Electricity Bills – Protect Equipment – Achieve More Stable System Operation

What is a Capacitor Bank Panel?

A Capacitor Bank Panel is an electrical assembly that utilizes high-capacity capacitors to compensate for reactive power, thereby improving the power factor (Cosφ) within the electrical system. This is a critical solution for reducing electricity costs, minimizing grid losses, and protecting industrial electrical equipment.

✅ Low Power Factor → Power Penalty
✅ Capacitor bank improves PF > 0.9 → Significant savings

Why Install a Capacitor Bank?

Reduce electricity bills (Avoid low power factor penalties)
Improve transmission efficiency and reduce line voltage drop
Protect transformers, CBs, and ACBs from reactive current overload
Increase load capacity and prevent substation capacity overload
Mandatory for many high-capacity factories per EVN regulations
