Power Factor Correction Capacitors

Promelec plans, evaluates, selects the equipment and performs the installation of power factor correction capacitors in Montreal and throughout Quebec. The power factor represents how much of the energy supplied by the utility company provides the true power that performs work or in other words, the percentage of consumed power versus the supplied power. The range is expressed as a value between zero and unity. Unity indicates that all the energy supplied to the motor performs work and zero means that all the energy provides reactive power. Power factor correction capacitors can be put on line to increase the Power Factor by reducing or removing the reactive power component in an inductive electric motor. The preferred situation is to have a power factor as close to unity as possible.

Commercial and industrial customers realize that they will pay more for utilities if their power factor is low. Reduce your energy costs and improve energy and machine efficiency with Power Factor Correction Capacitors by:

Steelman
ABB
KVAR

The benefits of using Steelman Power Factor Correction Capacitors and equipment are not limited to saving money on electricity and include: improved voltage, increased system capacity, and a reduction in feeder line losses. Steelman products are engineered to meet or exceed industrial standards and are guaranteed to give you years of service under the most extreme conditions. There are a variety of options from custom enclosures to Blown Fuse Indicator Lights (/FPL). Steelman supplies five models of fixed Power Factor Correction capacitors as well as Automated/Switched Power Factor Correction capacitors with microprocessor control for custom Power Factor adjustments.

Power Factor Correction Capacitors by ABB include various single phase models in addition to specialty three and split phase and surge capacitors. At ABB the goal is to ensure that “as large a proportion as possible of the energy …. is turned into productive work or active power.” To accomplish this ABB’s innovative dry capacitor is significantly smaller than comparable equipment but still accommodates twice the capacity in half the size. This improved size to capacity ratio “paves the way for a revolutionary new range of innovative and highly cost effective power applications.”

KVAR commercial and industrial Power Factor Correction Capacitors are designed to recapture electricity and reduce energy costs by up to 10% or more in addition to prolonging the life of your equipment through decreased heat dissipation. Their Optimization Sizing System provides a straightforward and precise method for measuring and optimizing the power factor to unity.
