MV / HV APFC (Automatic Power Factor Correction) Capacitor Panels

At Sharda Capacitor, we manufacture and supply advanced MV (Medium Voltage) and HV (High Voltage) Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Capacitor Panels, engineered to deliver efficient reactive power management in industrial and utility power systems. These panels are designed for environments with fluctuating loads and limited space at the MV/HV side, ensuring optimal system performance.

With successful installations across India, Africa, Latin America, South East Asia, and Gulf countries, our APFC Capacitor Panels are trusted worldwide for improving power factor, reducing penalties, minimizing losses, and increasing overall system efficiency.

Rated Output : 500 KVAR to 5000 KVAR

Rated Voltage : 1 kV to 33 kV

Introduction

Maintaining a healthy power factor is critical for efficient energy use. A low power factor indicates higher reactive power consumption, leading to energy losses and penalties from utilities. Our MV/HV APFC Capacitor Panels automatically regulate reactive power by dynamically connecting or disconnecting capacitors, ensuring near-unity power factor.

These panels not only improve energy efficiency but also:

Reduce burden on transformers
Minimize voltage drops
Increase the system’s effective capacity
Lower electricity costs by avoiding penalties
For stable loads, fixed KVAR compensation is adequate, but for variable loads, APFC panels are essential to maintain continuous reactive power balance

Major Components of MV/HV APFC Capacitor Panel

MV / HV Capacitors :Core components that provide reactive power support. Switched on/off automatically to maintain desired power factor.
MV / HV Series Reactors :Used for harmonic filtration and inrush current limiting. Available in both iron core and air core types.
Contactor / Switching Devices :Heavy-duty devices that safely connect and disconnect capacitors.
Controller :The “brain” of the APFC panel. Microprocessor-based system that monitors voltage, current, and power factor to control capacitor switching intelligently.
Sensors :Measure electrical parameters such as voltage, current, power factor, and frequency. Provide real-time data to the controller.
Protection Devices :Circuit breakers, fuses, and relays for overload, short-circuit, and overcurrent protection.
Communication Interface :Enables integration with REJ port or SCADA systems for remote monitoring solutions.
