As a service to our
clients RH ANDERSEN is proud to offer the latest products
from SeaGreen Global, an innovative provider of Power Factor
Correction (PFC) technology desgined to help your organization
use electrical power more efficiently, extend the life of your
equipment and reduce penalties from your utility company for
inefficient power use.
HOW IT
WORKS...
For non-residential users, the Utility company charges
on the basis of energy supplied (kVA) to your installation, the
amount being based on your peak usage, as opposed to what energy you
actually use. In other
words, you are paying for more energy
than you really have to!
By
implementing Power Factor Correction (PFC) equipment, you can save
on your energy bill.
PFC made
simple:
By
definition Power factor correction (PFC) is a technique or method of
counteracting the undesirable effects of electric loads that create
a power factor that is less than one. Power factor correction is
often applied by the Utility company to improve the stability,
integrity, and efficiency of the transmission network; or, may be
achieved by commercial customers via power factor correction
equipment installed on their side of the
meter.
Power Factor
improvements reduce the cost of electrical supply upgrades; reduce
niggling faults triggered by electrical hotspots or peaks in
current; reduce the number of
spikes that can damage and shorten the life of your
equipment; reduce your carbon footprint; reduce your energy
bill. Once corrected, your typical
Power Factor should be between 0.95 and 0.98 (A Power Factor of 0.85 or
less should be corrected as this can yield considerable savings on
your electric bill).

Poor Power Factor results
in:
o
More kVA required of
the network
o
Larger distribution
infrastructure
o
Higher energy
costs
o
More greenhouse gas
emissions
o
Fines*
*
Fines are levied on businesses north of
Connecticut,
(from Massachusetts to
Maine)
for poor Power Factor.
How can I find out what my
Power Factor is?
An analysis of the
power demand on your installation can be performed by skilled
personnel using the right equipment in conjunction with an analysis
of your power usage history. An analysis of the maximum kVA (or kW)
and Power Factor are required to enable determination of the
required capacitance (in kVAR) to correct the installation.
How is Power Factor
Improved?
Power Factor correction
is achieved by the addition of capacitors which generate reactive
power (kVAR) which compensates for the reactive power demand of the
inductive load and thus reduces the amount of kVA that must be
supplied by the Utility Company.
The cost of the PF
Correction equipment is off-set by your savings on your electric
bill.
How does it
work?
A SeaGreen technical advisor
evaluates your need. An energy use analysis is performed using
sophisticated, proprietary equipment and an evaluation of prior
energy consumption. Proprietary software crunches the numbers and
defines the specification for custom designed Power Factor
correction capacitors that are manufactured (in the
USA) to meet your needs.
Technicians then install and fine-tune the system. Once installed, the savings
begin!
The
payback on SeaGreen’s Power Factor correction capacitors is usually
12-18 months – in many
cases,
considerably
less!
