Optimizing Power Factor with Advanced Thyristor Technology

High-performance thyristor-based Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) panels designed to enhance energy efficiency, reduce power losses, and ensure compliance with utility standards.

Our Thyristor-Based APFC Panels

Usha Capacitors offers state-of-the-art thyristor-based APFC panels under the brand “USHA Electric,” engineered to dynamically correct power factor in real-time for industrial and commercial applications. These panels utilize thyristor-switched capacitors for rapid and precise switching, minimizing wear and tear compared to traditional contactor-based systems. Designed to handle fluctuating loads and harmonic-rich environments, our panels comply with IEEE-519 standards and are ISO:9001-2015 certified, ensuring reliability and quality.

Key Features
  • Rapid Switching: Thyristor modules enable near-instantaneous capacitor switching, ideal for dynamic loads.

  • Harmonic Suppression: Integrated harmonic filters reduce Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) to below 5%, ensuring compliance with IEEE-519.

  • Power Factor Correction: Maintains an annual average power factor better than 0.99, optimizing energy usage.

  • Durability: Zero-contact switching extends capacitor life and reduces maintenance costs.

  • Microcontroller-Based Control: DSP logic ensures precise measurements with Class 1 accuracy.

  • Cooling System: Efficient cooling for high thermal stability in demanding environments.

  • Standards Compliance: IEC standards, RoHS, and ISO:9001-2015 certified.

Technical Specifications
  • Voltage Range: 415 V to 800 V (customizable for HV applications)

  • Capacity: 50 kVAr to 2000 kVAr

  • Switching Time: < 20 ms for thyristor switching

  • Control: Microcontroller-based APFC relay with harmonic filter integration
