Power Factor
REDUCING POWER FACTOR COST
Low power factor is expensive and inefficient. Kenya Power KPLC charge you an additional fee if your pf is less than 0.95. Low pf reduces electrical system’s distribution capacity by increasing current flow and causing voltage drops.
Why Improve Your Power Factor?
Seamless Process Automation Limited will help you improve pf and you will enjoy the following benefits:
- Your KPLC bill will be smaller. Low pf requires an increase in the electric energy generation and transmission capacity to handle the reactive energy caused by inductive loads. Kenya Power & Lighting Company charges a penalty fee to customers with pf less than 0.9
- Your electrical system’s capacity will increase. Uncorrected pf will cause energy losses in your distribution system. You will experience voltage drops as energy losses increase. Excessive voltage drops can cause overheating and premature failure of motors and other inductive equipment
The pay back of pf correction depends on how high the charge for reactive power is on your KPLC bill. Eliminated reactive power cost helps you to become more competitive and reduce sustainable carbon monoxide. The pay back on pf correction is most of the time very fast and attractive.
