Power Factor Correction, or PFC, describes the use of capacitors to correct for power distribution inefficiencies caused by excessive reactive power demand. This can help distribution utilities reduce their line losses, control system voltage, or increase available system capacity, and can allow larger energy consumers to reduce or eliminate power factor penalty charges. The Trinetics line of capacitor switches is a key component in capacitor banks used for medium-voltage power factor correction, while SmartBank PFC banks provide a complete ready-to-install system for both distribution utilities and commercial and industrial power consumers.
