Power factor correction is like tuning up your electrical system to make it more efficient. Imagine it as a way to get the most juice from your orange—meaning you get more power from the same amount of electricity. Businesses use it to reduce their energy bills and avoid extra fees from utility companies. You'd call in experts, like electrical engineers, to set it up in your facility. It's especially useful for places with lots of heavy machinery, like factories. The best time to consider it is when you notice your energy costs creeping up without a clear reason.
Power Factor is the key to understanding the efficiency of solar power devices. It's a numerical value ranging from 0 to 1. The closer the power factor is to 1, the higher the efficiency of your solar power system. Target Solar emphasizes the importance of a high power factor, ensuring your energy is used effectively.
The Power Factor represents how efficiently electrical power is converted into useful work output. A Power Factor of 0.8 means 80% of the electricity is effectively used, and 20% is wasted. Target Solar’s Power Factor Correction technology aims to minimize this wastage, getting as close to 1 as possible.
Automatic Power Factor Correction is like a smart manager for your electrical system. It constantly watches how electricity is being used and makes instant adjustments to improve efficiency. This helps you save on your energy bills and ensures your equipment runs smoothly. It's all done automatically, so you don't have to lift a finger. Think of it as a self-driving car for your electrical supply, making the best use of energy all the time.
"Power factor correction is more than just a buzzword; it's a necessity for businesses looking to improve efficiency and cut down on electrical costs. Take a step towards energy efficiency and financial savings with us."

Power Factor is the functional unit of measurement for the efficiency level of all the solar power devices. In other words, it is the measure of how efficiently power is used by the system. It is a numerical value between 0 to 1. Higher the power factor, the higher the efficiency of the solar power devices.
For instance, with a power factor of 0.8, there is 80% of electricity provided to equipment effectively, however, 20% is wasted power. This power wastage is an avoidable cost. Preferably, the power factor needs to be as close to 1 to ensure that your business is using energy resourcefully.
Target Solar is continuously working towards creating awareness about the use of efficient energy resources in an optimum manner without wasting them at any cost.
A power factor corrector is a smart device that has a plethora of correction capacitors attached to it. These extensive capacitors analyze and control the value of the power factor.
A standard regular monitors the functioning of contractors and tracks the value of the power factor from all the electronic areas. As per the loading and power factors of a network, a power factor controller switches the required blocks of automatic power factor correction capacitors to ensure that the power factor maintains above a nominated value.
Think of these like extra gas tanks for your car, but for electricity. They store extra power and release it when needed, making your electrical system more efficient.
These are the brains of the operation. They decide when and how much extra power is needed, and then signal the capacitor banks to release it.
This is like the gatekeeper, controlling the flow of electricity. It helps to switch on or off the capacitor banks based on the commands from the controller.
Imagine your electrical system as a river. Sometimes there are “rocks” or “debris”—things that disrupt the flow. Harmonic filters remove these disturbances so that the “river” flows smoothly.
These are like the accelerator and brake in your car but for motors. They control how fast a motor runs, and in doing so, help to maintain a good power factor.
Think of these like “shock absorbers” for the electrical system. They protect it from sudden changes and help to stabilize the power factor.
These are essentially big on/off switches that can disconnect power in case something goes wrong, protecting your equipment.
These are the “gauges” or “meters” that keep track of your electrical system’s performance, including its power factor, so adjustments can be made as needed.
Consider these as the roads on which your electricity travels. Good wiring and busbars are essential for an effective power factor correction system.

Mal Brakenridge25/08/2023I had solar installed in August 2023 and I am extremely happy with the whole process. I had a few quotes and they were the cheapest by a few hundred dollars. Then the installation was done quickly and without any dramas. The installers were very friendly and nothing was a problem. They left no mess and did a great job. Very happy customer here.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
