Benefit of install of Power Factor Controller

Now in days, in this dinamic and competitive market in which we are in, it is important to be aware at market’s news, introducing new technologies which comes to reduce costs and add quality. This month the support hint is for you, don’t loose the opportunity to reduce costs in power factory’scontroller instalation.

By install a regular power factory’s controller, it’s need installing a CT’s and, some cases, PT’s as well. Please, check some important points:

• If the installation is OK (it may take a long time);
• If the power factory meansured by equipment is the same that is showing by Public Utility’s meter;
• Foresee an anual manutence, it takes the equipment out operation for some time.

To solve these problems, IMS developed a controller called Smart Control PF, unnecessary the use of CT/PT, it just needs to use a optical cable (this cable replace the PT/CT), that’s where the economy starts, this controller do not need to be calibrated/ adjusted and garantee the perfect sincronism between controller and the Public Utility’s meter.

Some informations must be obtained by Public Utility before to connect with the Utility’s meter, these informations are: Output Type User; (it may be ‘normal’, ‘mixed’ or ‘extended’); PT’s Proportion (PTP), CT’s Proportion (CTP) and Eletrical Constant (Ke). Once configured, the controller will have autonomy enought to take the network’s control over by itself.
