Do You Need Power Factor Correction?
Low power factor is one of the most common—and costly—issues affecting industrial and commercial electrical systems. Many companies don’t realise they’re paying unnecessary penalties or using more power than required.
Common Signs of Poor Power Factor
- Your electricity bill includes reactive power or power factor penalties
- You’re approaching or exceeding your kVA capacity
- Machinery or motors cause voltage drops or overheating
- Transformers or cables are running inefficiently
- High inductive loads (motors, compressors, HVAC, pumps) are present onsite
If any of these sound familiar, your site may benefit significantly from Power Factor Correction.
What Is Power Factor Correction?
Power Factor Correction (PFC) improves the efficiency of your electrical system by reducing reactive power—energy that doesn’t perform useful work but still increases your demand on the grid.
Most low power factor issues come from inductive loads such as motors, lighting ballasts, conveyors, and compressors. By installing capacitors in your electrical infrastructure, PFC balances the power and brings your power factor closer to unity.
Why Power Factor Matters
- Reduces stress on equipment
- Improves voltage stability
- Lowers your kVA demand
- Cuts unnecessary charges from your energy provider
PFC is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to improve electrical efficiency.
Benefits of Power Factor Correction
-
Reduce Your Electricity Costs Cut or eliminate reactive power charges—saving money every month.
-
Improve System Efficiency Less wasted energy means lower losses across transformers, switchgear, and distribution boards.
-
Increase Usable Electrical Capacity Improve the utilisation of your existing electrical supply, allowing you to add more machinery without upgrading your incoming service.
-
Extend Equipment Life Reduced strain on motors, cables, and transformers leads to lower maintenance costs and fewer breakdowns.
-
Enhanced Power Quality & Voltage Stability Stabilise voltage across long cable runs and reduce flicker and dips caused by inductive loads.
3 Steps To Reduce My Electricity Bill
PFC Survey & Load Assessment
We conduct a detailed onsite survey, analysing your load profile, power factor, and reactive power levels. You receive a clear report and a recommended solution.
Note: Please note that the cost of the analysis and survey report will be fully refunded once you proceed with your order.
