ACB Distribution Control Panel

A LT (Low Tension) Distribution Panel is an electrical distribution system used to distribute electrical power at low voltages (typically below 1000V) to various circuits in a building or industrial facility. These panels are essential for managing power distribution from the main supply to different electrical loads.

Here’s a breakdown of typical components and their descriptions found in a LT distribution panel:

An Automatic Power Factor Control (APFC) Panel is an electrical device used to improve the power factor in an electrical distribution system. The power factor (PF) is a measure of how efficiently electrical power is being used. A low power factor indicates poor utilization of electrical power, which can lead to higher energy costs, excessive heating in electrical equipment, and inefficiencies in the system.

The primary function of an APFC panel is to automatically adjust the power factor of a system by adding or removing capacitors from the circuit as needed. By doing so, it helps to ensure that the power factor is maintained at an optimal level, usually close to 1 (or 100%), which improves the efficiency of the system and reduces the demand on the electrical infrastructure.
