Relay PFC8 a micro controller based 8-stage power factor controller, most suitable for LT applications where PF is controlled

by switched capacitor banks. The compact 144 x 144 mm relay performs PF correction on 24-hour basis, reducing the MD related penalties in a plant. The superior algorithms used ensure fast and accurate PF correction after optimum usage of the available capacitor banks in the system. The relay is available with an option of 14-stage control also.
