APFC PANEL
An APFC panel (Automatic Power Factor Correction) automatically maintains a high power factor — cutting utility penalties, reducing demand charges and freeing up transformer capacity. At ATMAN Group, we design and manufacture APFC panels in-house — as a single-window electrical partner since 2008, with AMUL-trained engineering leadership behind us.
What an APFC Panel Does
It continuously measures power factor and switches capacitor banks in and out automatically to hold the target PF — avoiding low-PF penalties, lowering losses and improving voltage stability across your plant.
Our APFC Panel Scope
- PF controller with automatic capacitor-bank switching.
- Capacitor duty / detuned (reactor) banks for harmonic-rich loads.
- Protection, metering and monitoring.
- Sizing to your load profile and target PF.
- Manufacturing, testing, installation and commissioning.
Applications
- Dairy, food and process plants with motor loads.
- Factories facing PF penalties or high demand charges.
- Facilities with fluctuating or harmonic-rich loads.
Why ATMAN for APFC Panels
- In-house panel manufacturing and electrical engineering under one roof.
- Single-window accountability from design to commissioning and support.
- Proven on turnkey dairy and process plants for cooperatives and NDDB-commissioned builds.
- ISO 9001:2015 certified, BIS-rated electricals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will an APFC panel cut my electricity bill?
Yes — maintaining a high power factor avoids PF penalties and reduces demand charges and losses.
Do I need detuned (reactor) banks?
If your loads are harmonic-rich (VFDs, drives), detuned banks protect capacitors; we assess and size accordingly.
Do you handle installation?
Yes — manufacturing, installation and commissioning are one turnkey scope.
