PFC systems are used to discharge unnecessarily overloaded supply systems through inductive reactive power and save consumption costs. JANITZA Power Factor Control Relays detects the reactive and real vectors of current via current and voltage path through single phase electronic measuring system. By means of these values the controller computes the phase divergence between the fundamentals of current and voltage, and compares it to the set phase divergence. In case of a difference, capacitor duty contactors will be switched on or off. Here the reactive power controller distinguishes the switching of capacitors via contactors or semiconductor switches. Janitza relays have the following features

Application

PFC systems are used to discharge unnecessarily overloaded supply systems through inductive reactive power and to save reactive consumption costs. The reactive power controller is the main part of a PFC system and automatically switches capacitors steps on or off. The Prophi® power factor controller is suitable for use in conventional and dynamic PFC systems. A mixed operation (hybrid switching) is possible as well.
