Why install a Power Factor Correction system?
If your Power Factor is:
- >.95 there is no need to install a power factor as your power quality is good
- .9 you are losing about 10% of the power drawn from the grid
- .8 you have serious power quality issues and are losing 20% of the power drawn from the grid
Do you have an existing Power Factor Correction unit? It’s worth checking to see if it is fit for purpose. Most businesses don’t realise that their system must be serviced every year so some of the capacitors don’t work. We most commonly find that the business has expanded its production so the current Power Factor unit is too small and needs to be replaced.
How Power Factor Correction can help businesses save
If you are a business that operates demanding machinery that consumes a high amount of electricity, power loss can be a problem that can cost thousands of dollars every year. Electricity supply from the grid that powers your equipment comes with charges such as demand charges which can be heavily influenced by power factors. The expected lifespan for all PFC units is around 7 years and it’s really important that they are serviced every year.

Consult our experts for Power Factor Correction (PFC), our Total Energy Consultants can help determine the right power factor correction for your business that can reduce any wastage that you might already be paying for and create cost savings for your business.
