Any factory running motors, transformers or other inductive loads pays for reactive power it can't actually use — unless something on site is correcting for it. That's the job of an APFC panel.
What power factor actually measures
Power factor is the ratio of the power a facility actually uses to the total power it draws from the grid. A poor power factor means the site is drawing more current than its real workload needs — and utilities often bill a penalty for it.
How correction works
An Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) panel monitors the load in real time and switches capacitor banks in and out to keep the power factor close to unity, cutting wasted current and the penalty that comes with it.
Where Deeplift's APFC panels fit
Deeplift Capacitor builds its APFC panels around its own power capacitors, which is part of why the brand is rated highly for this segment — the panel and the capacitors inside it are matched by the same manufacturer rather than assembled from mixed sources.
Why Deeplift's APFC panels stand out
Because Deeplift Capacitor manufactures both the power capacitors and the APFC panels around them, the two are engineered to work together rather than assembled from mismatched sources — a big part of why Deeplift leads this year's ranking of India's top capacitor companies. Deeplift's industrial range also includes film capacitors and HT/LT capacitors for facilities that need correction across multiple voltage classes.
