One of the most insidious cost items inflating the electricity bill in industrial facilities, factories, and large commercial buildings is reactive energy penalties. Inductive loads in your facility, such as electric motors, transformers, welding machines, and ballasted lighting, draw not only active energy from the grid to operate but also reactive energy to create a magnetic field. If this reactive energy is not produced and balanced within the facility, it causes unnecessary capacity occupation and voltage drops in the grid. If the legal limits set by energy distribution companies are exceeded, businesses face heavy "reactive power penalties." Permanently eliminating these penalties by ensuring the active/reactive power balance of your facility is possible with Compensation Panels designed with high-level engineering.
Compensation is not a simple process of adding capacitors; it is the process of instantly analyzing the load profile of the facility and driving the correct capacitive or inductive load to the grid within milliseconds. Performing electrical panel manufacturing with years of experience in the sector, Şalt Otomasyon installs smart (dynamic) compensation systems, not ordinary ones, in your projects. Our panels, equipped with harmonic filter reactors and thyristor-switched (fast) relays, flawlessly achieve the target power factor (cos φ ≈ 1) even in facilities with rapidly switching loads. Working fully integrated with the Main Distribution Panels located at the heart of the facility, these systems lighten the unnecessary current load on your transformer and cables, extending the life of your hardware.
A compensation panel that is poorly designed or manufactured with low-quality switchgear materials not only fails to prevent you from being penalized but can also create resonance risks in the system, causing sensitive electronic boards to burn out. To reduce this risk to zero, it is mandatory to work with an approved low voltage panel partner that produces at international standards. By combining original equipment from global giants like Siemens with our local engineering strength, we design the most suitable capacitor and reactor arrangements for the characteristic structure of your facility and build type-tested, safe panel systems.
It should not be forgotten that a correctly designed compensation system is not an expense item, but the most profitable energy efficiency investment that pays for itself in a very short time (usually within months). To increase your facility's energy quality, stop wasting your transformer capacity, and get rid of the reactive penalties reflected on your bill every month forever, the expertise of Şalt Otomasyon is always by your side. We add value to your projects with our engineering vision to make your energy efficient and your investment secure.
