Cutting reactive power costs across demanding utility environments
Substations, street lighting networks, water treatment plants, and renewable energy grids all face the same hidden cost: poor power factor driving up energy bills and straining equipment. The Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) Panel solves this by continuously compensating for reactive power – stabilising voltage, minimising line losses, and reducing electricity costs across municipal, government, and public utility installations. Unlike standard commercial setups, utility infrastructure faces high-voltage fluctuations and constantly shifting loads – Synchro’s APFC panels are engineered specifically for that level of demand.

Built to Built to Specification
Reactive power challenges vary significantly across utility and infrastructure environments – from small pump stations managing modest loads to large substations handling constant, heavy fluctuations across multiple feeders. Synchro’s APFC panel range addresses this full spectrum, with panel capacities from 10 kVAR to 400 kVAR, brand-specific component options, and fully custom configurations for non-standard applications. Every panel is pre-tested and delivered ready to integrate into your power network.
