Power Factor Correction Equipment Condition Surveys

1

If you failed to service your car routinely, over time the fuel consumption would deteriorate, and emissions would increase. You could say the same for Power Factor Correction Equipment, which should, ideally, be checked over annually. Failing power factor could cause an increase in reactive power consumption, or an increase in KVA consumption in excess of any Agreed Supply Capacity, either of which may result in extra charges being applied by the supply company. As a result this would increase your carbon footprint.

A condition survey would verify the health of each capacitor stage, contactor, fuses, and control equipment, and the network power factor would be checked. We will provide you with a full report, which would include recommendations on any remedial work required.

As on site maintenance teams become smaller, this activity may not be a priority. We can offer this service to ensure that your power factor is performing at 100%, avoiding any reactive charges,, and reducing your carbon footprint.

We can provide an annual reminder when a service is due, to ensure equipment is serviced on schedule.
