Systematic power supply is critical to avoid downtime and equipment failures. Power factor correction helps prevent issues like motor failures, overheating transformers, and irregular supply, ensuring smooth operations and high-power quality.
Power factor is the ratio of real power (used to run equipment) to apparent power (total power drawn). A low power factor (below 95–96%) indicates inefficiency and results in higher utility charges for reactive power.
Key benefits of maintaining an optimal power factor:
- Reduces electricity costs
- Minimises system load
- Improves energy efficiency
- Enhances equipment performance
