When discussing power factor correction solutions with people across our industry, someone will often mention something about capacitors being unreliable, prone to catching on fire, or similar. What...

What is a capacitor?  Capacitors are devices that can store a charge. Physically, a capacitor is made up of conductive plates separated by a dielectric material. Capacitance is calculated by the above...

Capacitor-based Low Voltage (LV) Power Factor Correction systems have been the accepted technology for correcting power factor for at least the past 50 years. There have been many improvements in...

What is power factor correction? Power factor is a measure of how effectively the power is being used in a circuit. It is often presented as a ratio or power triangle that shows the actual power, or...

Find out how power factor correction can bring down operation and production costs, decrease your carbon footprint, and improve your power consumption and quality.  Reduces Power Utility...

Reactive power cannot be avoided, as inductive loads require it in order to generate and maintain magnetic fields. As a result, an electrical circuit will have both active and reactive energy.  Power...
