The Apparent Power drawn by an electrical installation is the vectorial sum of the Active and the Reactive Power drawn by the installation.

Power Factor Correction (PFC) is the process of improving a low power factor present on a power system by means of installing Power Factor Correction (PFC) capacitors and in so doing, increase the ratio of active power to apparent power.

It is important to note that the improvement of low power systems, is achieved through the installation of Power Factor Correction (PFC) equipment which results in the increase of the ratio of active power to apparent power.

The Power Factor Calculator can be used to calculate what your power factor correction requirements are, and how your business can benefit from optimal energy efficiency and savings on electricity costs.
