Alpha Power Solutions offers intelligent Power Factor Controllers for optimal performance.
We track the number of times each capacitor bank is switched on and off as well as the total duration that each capacitor bank has been energised. This information is used to determine which bank will be energised or de-energised, resulting in an even wear of the complete power factor correction installation. The controller displays the following information:
- Power Factor
- Voltage
- Current
- Active Power
- Reactive Power
- Apparent Power
- Individual & total harmonic distortion (voltage and current)
- PFC Cabinet Ambient Temperature
- Alarms present in the system
We also offer a remote monitoring and metering option to ensure the PFC equipment performs optimally. Complete the enquiry form to find out more.

For businesses that have reached the maximum of their electrical supply, the average cost of a PFC solution to free up supply capacity is usually 85% more cost-effective than an electrical supply upgrade.
Features & functions of power factor correction controllers
- Capacitor bank control: power factor correction controllers facilitate the on-and-off switching of capacitor banks.
- Dynamic compensation: our advanced PFC controller can dynamically adjust the compensation level based on the electrical systems’ real-time requirements. This ensures optimal power factor correction under varying load conditions.
- Harmonic protection: to prevent damage to the PFC equipment, our controllers will disengage banks when excessive harmonic levels are detected.
- Monitoring & control: our PFC controllers incorporate monitoring functions to determine the power factor and other parameters in an electrical system. The controllers can automatically adjust the compensation settings to ensure efficient power factor correction.
