Power Compensation Systems

Reactive power increases electricity bills, stresses transmission lines and shortens equipment life. A properly sized compensation system raises the power factor to 0.98 and eliminates high-consumption penalties.

Compensation Solutions

• Power factor analysis and harmonic measurement
• Fixed and automatic capacitor bank panel design
• Active harmonic filter (AHF) for THD reduction
• Detuned reactor selection and protection coordination
• Revision and improvement of existing compensation systems
• Reactive energy penalty calculation and optimisation

A correctly dimensioned compensation system typically pays back within 12–18 months through reduced reactive energy charges and lower cable and transformer losses.
