Three Phase MCC Electrical Control 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.

An ACB (Air Circuit Breaker) Distribution Panel is an electrical distribution board that incorporates an Air Circuit Breaker as the primary protective device. It is used in low voltage electrical systems to distribute electrical power to different circuits and protect the system from overcurrent, short circuits, and other faults. The ACB itself operates using air as the arc-quenching medium when the breaker trips.
