Capacitor & APFC Panel
The function of a cluster of capacitor bank installed in APFC Panel is to provide desired reactive power to the inductive loads (thus improvising power factor) and raise the voltage according to the required system strength and capacitor bank size.
APFC is an automatic power factor control panel which is used to improve the power factor, whenever required, by switching ON and OFF the required capacitor bank units automatically.
Capacitor Panels are special devices made to this end itself, as it verily increases the power factor correction by a large magnitude. Normally the electric load running all around a facility or residence is reactive in nature and can prevent in great losses as pointed to before.
Ridgid tools are targeted at the plumbing, pipe fitting, construction, and HVAC trades. The brand is best known for its distinctive red pipe wrenches, but the company manufactures over 300 different types of tools.

APFC Panel has microcontroller based programmable controller which switches the capacitor banks of suitable capacity automatically in multiple stages by directly reading the reactive load (RKVA) which works in the principle of VAR sensing tends to maintain the PF to 0.99 Lag.
