       Lamination                                                                                                                                            [Get Quote]   

 

          The lamination are built from M-3H, M4 & M5 grade CRGO sheets duly annealed. The joints are mitered & interleaved          

          to keep no load losses to the minimum possible. Also the lamination is designed to sustain over fluxing upto 12.5% due
          to variations in voltage and frequency. The yokes are clamped together by steel channels with bolts. The top and  
     
    and bottom channels are clamped together by vertical tie roads to provide rigidity and facilitate lifting of the core and          

          coil assembly.

 

 

       Winding                                                                                                                                                               ^

 

          The windings are made from electrolytic copper or alluminium conductor with paper covering or super enamelling as

          per the customers requirement. Generally strip winding is provided for low voltage and round wire are used for high

          voltage windings. Adequate oil ducts are provided in the windings to limit the temperature rise of windings to the

          specified limits. This ensures that the rate of insulation deterioration is minimized and high life expectancy is achieved.

          Usually I.V winding is assembled next to the core and HV coils around them concentrically placed. Sufficient clearance

          and insulation is provided between core and windings and also between the windings themselves to withstand electrical

          tests.

          Generally +5% -5% tappings are provided on HV windings. These tappings are set by means of an externally

          operated tap changer, which should be operated only when the transformer is disconnected from load.

        

          Tapping in other steps can be provided as per customers requirement.

       APFC Panels                                                                                                                                                           ^ 

 

     

APFC Panel is a cost effective solution to improve the Power Factor in any industry. It automatically switches ON and OFF the required amount of Capacitors depending upon the load variation to achieve the set PF. The APFC Panel is a perfect solution to manage Power Factor and to improve the life of the Capacitors. It has a fantastic payback period. It has necessary Switchgears, Contactors, Isolating switches, HRC fuses and an Intelligent Micro Processor based Power Factor Controller. This can be used for switching externally/internally installed Capacitor banks for integrated management of load Power.

 

MELCON APFC Panel has many advantages compared to other competitors because of its intelligent unique design of the banking pattern that helps to improve the desired Power Factor for all kind of loads.  

A load & therefore its KVAR are in a dynamic state - generally.

A matching KVAR output of a capacitor bank must also be dynamic i.e. must adjust itself-instantly to its requirement, if one is to obtain a uniform &'set' p.f. all along.

This is best achieved by an automatic control that switches in & out, segments of a designed capacitor bank.

A control panel serving this purpose is called on APFC panel or Automatic Power Factor Controlling panel. It controls the load power factor by sensing various available parameters.

Increasingly, Indian Industry is paying one of the highest power tariffs in the world.

 

Countries in this club such as Germany and Italy have benefited from Automatic Power Factor control as a competitive edge. They are already global leaders in Automatic Power Factor Compensation (APFC) Capacitors and Panels.

 

 Energy Efficiency, the Competitive Edge                                                                                               [Get Quote]

 

The demand for energy is projected to grow twice as fast in Asia as for the rest of the world over the next 20 years. India is projected to claim a significant portion of this Asian  demand. However, with a smaller reserve of resources, Electricity prices in Asian  Countries are already some of the highest in the world. The per-unit cost in India is

almost twice that in Canada. With increasing global competition, countries with higher electricity costs can benefit significantly from improvements in Energy Efficiency. Further, improvements in energy efficiency are already proven to have the fastest payback, compared to improving availability through Generation.

 

Power Factor (PF) improvement is therefore one of the fastest ways to a better bottom-line.

 

The Principle of PF Compensation                                                                                                                         ^

While the ideal Power Factor (PF) is Unity or 1, most Industrial loads have a PF lower than 1. Moreover, this lower PF is usually Inductive, arising out of the windings of Transformers, Motors, and the like. These loads consume kVARs (the Wattless component) from the supply line.

The principle of PF Compensation is to supply these kVARs via a capacitor located close to the load, reducing the current drawn from the supply line.

 

Automatic PF Compensation

For an Industry with dynamically changing loads, Automatic PF Compensation affords the best Return on Investment, since the kVAR investment required is smaller than with fixed capacitors needed to meet the entire load.

Automatic PF Correction also avoids Leading PF situations by switching off extra capacitors.

Power Factor Correction Systems - Power Capacitors - An Insight :

 

Power factor Correction is achieved now a days by installing power capacitors . Under fixed load conditions it is possible to put power capacitors in the system which will compensate completely for the wattles component and power factor can be improved to its maximum value. This obviously will not be an exact compensation for loads which are varying in value quite frequently.

 

Power factor can be controlled manually or by automatic control systems.

 

In manual control the operator has to go on making adjustment all the time, which is very tricky and human error cannot be ruled out.

 

In automatic control, power factor control relay keeps on sensing the power factor all the time and gives suitable signals to contactors connected to it to energize required capacitors.                                                                                           ^
