Description
Beyond motor control (covered above), MEK's control panel range includes Power Factor Improvement (PFI) Panels, used to enhance power efficiency by reducing reactive power consumption.
A PFI Panel automatically adjusts a site's power factor to avoid utility penalties and improve overall electrical system performance — a control function distinct from, but complementary to, motor control.
Applications
- Industries with heavy motor loads
- Commercial buildings with high electricity consumption
- Utility grids and substations
- Manufacturing plants with inductive loads
Benefits
- Reduces electricity bills by improving power factor
- Prevents penalties from electricity providers
- Enhances the lifespan of electrical equipment
- Ensures stable voltage and reduced power losses
