What is Power Factor?
Power factor is the ratio between the active power (KW) and the apparent power (KVA) drawn by an electrical installation. It is a measure of how effectively the current drawn by the load is being converted into useful output, and is measured by using a specialised power metering equipment.
What is Power Factor Correction (PFC)?
Power Factor Correction – or PFC – is the process of improving a low power factor present in a power system by installing Power Factor Correction Capacitors and, in so doing, increasing the ratio of active power to apparent power.
PFC can help industrial and commercial electricity users to significantly reduce their energy costs, and free up capacity in the electrical supply for their installations.
When the apparent power is greater than the active power, then the utility provider must supply the excess reactive power and the working power.
Power capacitors act as reactive power generators when connected to an electrical system, to reduce or eliminate the amount of reactive power the electrical system draws from the grid.

Investing in PFC equipment.
Power factor correction is the ratio of real power absorbed by the load to the apparent power flowing in the circuit. Real power is the power actually consumed due to the resistive power load and apparent power is the power that the grid must withstand. Power factor correction equipment can be used within industrial, manufacturing and processing plants.
General PFC benefits.
Lower electricity bills
Reduction in apparent power (also known as maximum demand)
Increased system capacity (free up capacity on your supply transformer)
Reduced voltage drop on the supply transformer and supply cables
Reduced transmission losses.

No matter urgent any electrical repairs seem, it’s never okay to attempt to handle them on your own. Trying to take care of electrical problems without professional training is extremely dangerous. If you or someone else aren’t hurt during your attempt, there’s still a chance that you’ve left something undone that poses a huge risk to you, your home, or your family. In fact, faulty electrical wiring is the number one cause of house fires in the United States, according to the National Fire Protection Agency. So in order to make sure that your home is safe, rely on a professional for any electrical services.
