Reduced Energy Bills
Lower Demand Charges: Many utilities charge based on peak power demand (kVA). Improving the power factor reduces these demand charges (Augos).
Energy Efficiency: Better power factor means less reactive power drawn from the grid, resulting in reduced energy consumption.
Energy Efficiency: Better power factor means less reactive power drawn from the grid, resulting in reduced energy consumption.
Increased Capacity and Efficiency
Enhanced Capacity: PFC frees up capacity in the electrical system, allowing more equipment to be added without upgrading infrastructure.
Reduced Losses: Improved power factor reduces losses in transformers and distribution equipment, enhancing overall system efficiency.
Reduced Losses: Improved power factor reduces losses in transformers and distribution equipment, enhancing overall system efficiency.
Improved Voltage Regulation
Stable Voltage Levels: A better power factor helps maintain more stable voltage levels, enhancing the performance and reliability of electrical equipment.
Avoiding Penalties
Utility Penalties: Utilities often impose penalties for poor power factors (typically below 0.95). Correcting the power factor helps avoid these additional costs.

Prolonged Equipment Life
Reduced Wear and Tear: Electrical equipment operating at a poor power factor draws higher currents, causing increased wear. PFC reduces these currents, extending equipment life.
Maintenance Savings: Lower currents and reduced heating lead to lower maintenance costs and less frequent replacements.
