AUTOMATIC POWER FACTOR

CONTROLLER RELAY
TYPE PFC8 / PFC14
Relay PFC8 a micro controller based 8-stage power factor controller, most suitable for LT
applications where PF is controlled by switched capacitor banks. The compact 144 x 144 mm relay
performs PF correction on 24-hour basis, reducing the MD related penalties in a plant. The superior
algorithms used ensure fast and accurate PF correction after optimum usage of the available capacitor
banks in the system. The relay is available with an option of 14-stage control also.
