POWER FACTOR
There are many ways to reduce power consumption and manage power supplies. One of them is power factor correction.
Why This Is Important?
Are you having problems with excessive power bills or overheating cables? You may need to improve your Power Factor which is an important component of most industrial and various commercial electricity billing accounts.
Power Factor (PF) relates to power quality or efficiency in a power supply system. A PF below 0.9 is low and a PF of 1 (unity) is the optimum. A major cause for low PF in industry and commerce can be traced to items of electrical equipment that may be technologically dated or not be working to full rated capacity. High on the list of suspects are air conditioning compressor motors, machines running in idle mode and dated fluorescent lighting systems. This causes electrical inefficiencies to the incoming power supply system.
Supply Authorities recognise Power Factor Correction (PFC) as a well-established method of reducing electricity costs and other harmful effects which can usually be corrected with the installation of capacitor banks connected across the incoming power supply mains and/or other sections of the power system.
What Are The Benefits?
Improving low PF in your industrial or commercial premises will provide the following benefits
Reduce KVA power demand and associated electricity costs.
Minimise waste in electricity consumption.
Prevent additional Supply Authority penalty charges where applicable.
Recover lost cable capacity enabling the installation of additional equipment.
Reduce heat losses in cables and electrical equipment thus increasing life span.
Reduce demand on power stations thus reducing Green House Gases.
Trilect technicians using special logging and recording instruments can survey the PF of your power system and provide a brief report and recommend a suitable power factor correction system, specially designed for your plant.

To get our project started, we needed to do a huge renovation and we only have 6 weeks to do it to become licensed. Peter and his team came out and did all the sparky works for us. It was a huge huge task to complete within the time frame that we had. However, it didn't seem matter with the Trilect team at all. Without a doubt, they finished the job and helped get this project off the ground. Thanks, Pete and the team, we really appreciate what you did for us.

Their attendance has also been really prompt. I am also aware that you assist our H & S team in electrical investigations which is also much appreciated. Leanne (National HSE Manager) always mentions how helpful you are during these times, so thank you for that. Have a great Xmas & New year.
