LOW VOLTAGE POWER FACTOR CORRECTION SYSTEMS

Ortea Next low voltage power factor correction systems improve energy efficiency, reduce costs and guarantee power quality in industrial, commercial and tertiary installations. Choosing the right correction solution is crucial for the continuity and competitiveness of your electrical system.

LV Power Factor Correction: What They Are and Why They Matter

Low voltage power factor correction systems correct the phase shift between current and voltage caused by inductive loads such as motors, transformers and industrial equipment. An installation without power factor correction suffers energy waste, higher bills and possible penalties from authorities.

With Ortea Next LV power factor correction, you get:

• Reduction in losses and energy costs.
• Greater efficiency and longer life for equipment.
• Compliance with current regulations.
• Optimisation of reactive energy and reduced environmental impact.

How to Choose the Right Power Factor Correction System 

Choosing the right power factor correction system should be based on a thorough analysis of installation data and, where possible, energy bills.
You must consider the total harmonic distortion rate (THDIR%), the ratio between required reactive power (kvar) and the transformer’s apparent power (kVA). 

To make selection easier, Ortea Next offers a power factor correction calculator to quickly find the most suitable capacitor bank for your needs.
