An RTPFC Panel (Real Time Power Factor Correction Panel) provides fast and dynamic power factor correction for applications with rapidly fluctuating or highly variable loads. Unlike conventional APPFC panels, it uses thyristor-switched capacitor banks that are triggered at voltage zero crossing, ensuring virtually instantaneous response and eliminating contactor bounce, arcing, and step switching delays. This advanced technology helps maintain a consistently high power factor, improves voltage stability, and significantly reduces flicker in networks with continuously changing load conditions such as welding machines, rolling mills, elevators, cranes, and other dynamic industrial processes. The assembly is designed and manufactured in accordance with IEC 61439 standards, while the power devices and protection components comply with IEC 60947, ensuring maximum safety, reliability, and long service life. With modular design, low maintenance, and high efficiency, RTPFC Panels provide a superior solution for industries that require precise reactive power compensation, reduced demand charges, and improved system performance.
