Overview

Automatic Power Factor Correction Systems at Macpower Electricals, Surat

Welcome to Macpower Electricals, Surat’s leading provider of advanced electrical solutions. Our Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Systems are designed to enhance the efficiency of your electrical systems by optimizing power factor, reducing energy costs, and improving overall system performance.

What is an Automatic Power Factor Correction System?

An Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) System is a device used to improve the power factor of electrical systems. Power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being used. An APFC system automatically adjusts the power factor by switching capacitors on and off in response to changes in load, ensuring that the power factor remains within an optimal range.
