Energy Review: Power Factor Correction Equipment Installed

Following an energy consumption review, both of the manufacturing sites at Ultimet Films Limited have been facilitated with Power Factor Correction equipment .

Prior to installing the equipment the power factor ratio was 0.80- 0.85. Following installation, the power factor ratio improved to 0.99-1.00 providing immediate savings by reducing the reactive power used.

Power factor near unity can prolong the life of the electrical equipment being used and help avoid voltage drops over long cables and reduce efficiency losses in supply transformers.
