In industrial facilities, hospitals, or commercial buildings, there is a hidden expense item in electricity bills: The reactive energy penalty. This cost, resulting from the inefficient use of electricity drawn from the grid, can be completely eliminated with correctly projected compensation (power factor correction) panels. As Şalt Otomasyon, Konya's energy and automation base, we not only save your business from reactive penalties; we offer long-lasting solutions that improve your energy quality, filter harmonics, and extend equipment life.
Precise Engineering in Reactive Power ControlCompensation panels are designed to correct the imbalance (phase shift) created on the grid by motors, transformers, and lighting loads running in the field. However, these panels are not just metal boxes where capacitors are randomly arranged. With our identity as a Konya automation company, we first analyze your facility's load characteristics with energy monitoring devices. We determine how much of the loads are inductive (motor-heavy) and how much are capacitive (LED lighting or long cable lines), and create a "Tailor-Made" design. The new generation reactive power control relays we use in our systems are compatible with SCADA systems. In this way, we establish a dynamic structure that talks to the PLC control panels or Building Automation Panels in your facility and reacts to load changes within milliseconds.
Quality Equipment, Long-Lasting Investment The most common problems in compensation panels are contactor sticking or capacitor explosion. Şalt Otomasyon adopts type-tested panel manufacturing standards to reduce these risks to "Zero." In our panels, we use reactors resistant to harmonic distortions and special compensation contactors. On the cabinet side, we solve the heating problem (thermal management) from the very beginning by preferring modular solutions of world brands such as Tempa Pano or Rittal Pano. Especially in facilities where Frequency Converter Panels are dense, pollution (harmonics) in the grid increases. A standard panel cannot withstand this pollution. The panels we design protect both themselves and the sensitive server control panels and electronic cards in your facility with their harmonic filtered structures.
Integrated Energy Management A facility's electricity is a whole. While the energy coming from Main Distribution Boards is distributed to Motor Control Panels (MCC) and other sub-panels, the compensation system is like a "Customs Gate" that inspects the quality of this flow. As Şalt Otomasyon, we offer integrated compensation solutions to upper-segment systems such as Siemens Sivacon S8 panels or Siemens Sivacon S4 panels. Also, in regions where solar energy is intense like Konya, load flow is bidirectional (both consumption and generation) in facilities working with Solar (PV) Distribution Panels. Standard panels may measure incorrectly in this case. Our engineers reveal the Şalt Otomasyon Konya difference by installing systems that work with algorithms specific to Solar facilities and maintain reactive balance even during generation.
