APFC & Metering
Panels

Overview

GE-TECH APFC (Automatic Power Factor Correction) Panels automatically maintain the power factor at the desired level by switching capacitor banks in and out of the circuit. This ensures compliance with utility regulations, eliminates power factor penalties, and reduces electricity costs significantly.

Our energy metering panels provide comprehensive monitoring of all electrical parameters with data logging, communication, and integration with energy management systems (EMS) and Power BI dashboards.

Key Features

• Automatic power factor correction from 0.85 to 0.99
• Microprocessor-based APFC relay with multi-step control
• Thyristor switching for fast reactive power compensation (TSVG)
• Detuned reactor-based capacitor banks for harmonic-rich environments
• Digital multifunction meters with communication (RS485, Ethernet)
• Energy data logging and billing-grade metering (0.2S/0.5S class)
• Power quality analysis (harmonics, THD, voltage sag/swell)
• Integration with SCADA, EMS, and Power BI dashboards
• Alarm and protection for over-voltage, over-current, and capacitor faults
• Compact modular design for easy expansion

Applications

• Industrial manufacturing plants with varying loads
• Commercial buildings and IT parks
• Power distribution substations
• Data centers requiring clean power
• Renewable energy integration points
• Energy audit and monitoring systems
