We have vast experience in the installation and commissioning of automatic power factor control systems based on our controllers and allied products. We offer our expertise based on this experience to you by way of providing complete solutions to your problems of energy management related to power factor improvement.

We offer system design, manufacture, supply, installation and commissioning services.

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

Description of Syntron 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 Sheet Steel 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 temprature 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 Syntron 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
