Power Factor Assessment for Manufacturing and Industrial Sites Industrial sites with large motor loads, variable speed drives and other inductive equipment are the most common candidates for power factor correction. Poor power factor on a half-hourly metered industrial supply results in higher maximum demand charges, increased reactive power costs where these are separately billed, and reduced available capacity on the incoming supply. We measure power factor at the incoming supply and at individual load points where required, analyse the results across different operational conditions and specify correction equipment sized correctly for the actual reactive demand of the installation.

Power Factor Assessment for Commercial Premises Commercial buildings with significant air conditioning, lift motors, UPS systems and fluorescent or discharge lighting can also benefit from power factor correction, particularly where they are on half-hourly metered supplies subject to maximum demand charges. We carry out power factor assessments for offices, retail premises, hotels and other commercial buildings, identifying whether correction would deliver a worthwhile return and specifying the appropriate equipment where it would.

Power Factor Correction Equipment Supply and Installation Where assessment confirms that correction equipment would deliver measurable benefits, we supply and install automatic power factor correction panels that adjust capacitor bank switching in response to changing load conditions, maintaining power factor at the target level across all operational scenarios. All correction equipment is installed and commissioned by our own qualified engineers, with post-installation measurement confirming the improvement achieved.

Power Factor Correction for Organisations Expanding Electrical Load Businesses planning to add significant new electrical load, EV charging infrastructure, new production equipment, additional HVAC, may find that power factor correction provides useful additional supply capacity without the cost and disruption of a supply upgrade. Improving power factor reduces the reactive current drawn from the supply, freeing capacity for additional active loads. We assess the power factor improvement available and model its impact on available supply capacity as part of the feasibility assessment for planned load additions.
