power factor correction

maintenance
PFC Engineering Ltd is a major manufacturer
and supplier of Power Factor Correction
equipment, serving British industry and
commerce for over 35 years. Allied to our
manufacturing activity, our maintenance
department has developed and is able
to provide an efficient service for Power
Factor Correction equipment nationwide,
regardless of manufacturer.

The Solution
PFC Engineerings maintenance department
offer a comprehensive nationwide service
program, and will be pleased to provide a
contract quotation to suit your requirements.

Frequently, when carrying out initial

maintenance, we find that the existing
Power Factor Correction equipment is not
fully operational, which is often contrary to
indication, i.e. indicator lamps are on, but
output from the capacitors is significantly
below rating. In some cases, the units
capacitors may have failed completely.
The loss of effective Power Factor Correction
is very expensive because the savings it is
designed to provide are irretrievably lost.
All capacitors have a finite life. When failure
occurs no apparent warning is given. In fact,
contactors operate and indicator lights will
still switch on and off, but the capacitors
may not be operational.
Most modern capacitors incorporate failsafe protection mechanisms which quietly
disconnect them so failure goes undetected.
In todays competitive marketplace,
many companies find themselves with a
much slimmer maintenance department.
Consequently, routin
inspection and
maintenance of Power Factor Correction
equipment is often undertaken infrequently
or not at all. This can result in a loss of
savings and unnecessary damage to
existing equipment
Modern networks are frequently subjected
to adverse system transients and harmonics,
which make regular maintenance of Power
Factor Correction even more essential.
