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.
