FAQ's of L&T PFC-8 POWER FACTOR CONTROLLER:


Q: How does the L&T PFC-8 Power Factor Controller enhance power factor correction in LT panels?

A: The PFC-8 controller automatically senses the power factor through CT input and manages capacitor banks by switching steps as needed, ensuring optimal power factor levels. This automation helps reduce energy losses and prevents utility penalties, especially in demanding industrial and commercial environments.

Q: What protection features does the PFC-8 provide during operation?

A: The controller is equipped with over/under compensation safeguards, faulty step indication, CT open alarm, over-voltage protection, and a self-test function. These features ensure safe operation of the power factor correction system and timely alerts in case of faults or abnormal conditions.

Q: When and where should the PFC-8 Power Factor Controller be used?

A: The PFC-8 is ideal for installation in low-tension (LT) electrical panels requiring automatic and reliable power factor correction, such as in manufacturing plants, commercial buildings, or utility substations. Its versatile mounting options support a range of industrial and commercial settings.

Q: What is the process of setting up and programming the controller?

A: Installation involves panel or flush mounting and connection via terminals using user-defined cable lengths. All essential parameters, such as switching sequence, on/off delay times, and password functions, can be easily programmed through the front panel keypad and are clearly displayed on the LED display.

Q: Can users monitor the performance and status of each step on the controller?

A: Yes, the PFC-8 provides individual LED indications for each step, as well as for power factor status and active alarms. The main LED display shows vital parameters-such as power factor, voltage, current, and run hours-for comprehensive system monitoring.

Q: What are the benefits of using the PFC-8 Power Factor Controller?

A: The PFC-8 improves energy efficiency, reduces demand charges, and minimizes the risk of penalties by maintaining the desired power factor. Its protection and monitoring features extend equipment life and simplify maintenance, while the programmable and automatic operation enhances operational convenience.

Q: How does the harmonics detection function help users?

A: By detecting harmonics within the electrical system, the PFC-8 allows facility managers to identify potential issues that could affect power quality or equipment longevity. Early warning through this feature enables timely intervention and helps maintain overall system effectiveness.
