Both Passive Power Factor Correction(PPFC) and Active Power Factor Correction(APFC) are used to improve power factor and reduce reactive power, but they differ in complexity, cost, and performance. Passive Power Factor Correction (PPFC) Method: Uses passive components (capacitors, reactors, or filters) to compensate for reactive power. Types of Passive PFC: A. Capacitor Ba...
Analysis of 3 Different Power Factor Correction Solutions: Capacitors, SVG, and AHF In today’s industrial and commercial environments, ensuring power quality is more than just good practice—it’s a necessity. Poor power quality can lead to equipment malfunctions, increased utility costs, and downtime. One major aspect of power quality is the power factor—a measure of ho...
1. Current Transformer (CT) A Current Transformer is an instrument transformer used to measure alternating current (AC) by stepping down high currents to a lower, measurable value. Key Functions: Current Measurement: Steps down high primary current (e.g., 1000A) to a standardized secondary current (e.g., 5A or 1A) for meters and relays. Isolation: Provides galvanic isolation be...
