Power quality of the low voltage network is an important challenge for the industry of today. This leads to an increasing demand for more powerful, connected and user-friendly electrical devices. Power factor correction is certainly one important field of application where substantial improvement of the power quality can be obtained.

The PF Controller is one of the most important components of the PF Correction equipment. As such, it plays a key role in the control and monitoring of the power quality. ABB offers the most powerful, complete and user-friendly range of PF Controllers.

LV Capacitor Banks

ABB brand new APC is the most powerful and compact automatic capacitor banks on the market. These banks employ contacts to switch on capacitor steps and can be used for slow varying loads.
Thanks to the unmatched performances of ABB capacitors and a truly inventive ventilation system, APC offers a maximum reactive power within a minimum volume.

When fast loads have to be compensated, a Dynacomp® is best used. Dynacomp® uses thyristor switched capacitor technology that allows for ultra-fast transient free switching of large power capacitor steps. This way, fast, reactive power compensation and minimal voltage fluctuations can be achieved.
