why we r used APFC Panel in industrial area.when P.F. low
then wat will be the effect in our system?

Answer Posted / ganesan govarthinam

when power factor is unity,then industries receive active
power or useful power only i.e KW=KVA
If it is lagging PF,the industries receive both useful power
(KW) and reactive power(useless power)(KVAr).To meet this
reactive power, distribution transformer capacity also to
be increased.Then only we can avoid low voltage,losses
etc.
So we have to provide APFC panel to bring the pf to unity
