Power factor correction can put some extra cash in your pocket each month by cutting down that electricity bill. The facts are: Utilities charge you based on two things – the actual electricity you use, and the total power you pull from the grid. With motors, compressors, welders and other inductive loads, you end up using a lot more of that total power unnecessarily. It’s called reactive power, and it doesn’t actually do any real work.
So let’s say your meter reading shows you pulled 100 kVA from the grid, but you only actually used 80 kW of real working power. The rest is just wasted reactive stuff. The utility still charges you based on that full 100 kVA number though. Installing power factor correction capacitors at your facility offsets that reactive portion. Instead of pulling 100 kVA, you might only need 90 kVA to get that same 80 kW of usable power. Less apparent power, less you pay the utility.
Depending on your loads and utility rates, correcting from like 0.7 power factor up to 0.95 or so can knock 10-15% right off those monthly demand charges. For bigger operations, that adds up quick. So if you’re paying demand charges and have a bunch of inductive equipment, getting that power factor in shape makes a ton of sense money-wise. The team at kVAsaver can do an analysis for you to see if it makes financial sense for your situation.

Power factor is one of those things that many people don’t think about until there’s an issue. But it’s pretty important stuff, especially for businesses. The facts are, if you have a low power factor, it means you’re paying for more electricity than you’re using. See, there’s this thing called reactive power that doesn’t do any actual work, but your utility still charges you for it based on your total power usage. So if your loads are inductive like motors, transformers, fluorescent lights and so on, chances are your power factor could use some correction. Capacitor banks can help offset that reactive power and get you back in line. The benefits? You’re only paying for the real power you use instead of that wasted reactive stuff. Your electrical equipment runs cooler and more efficiently. And you avoid potential issues like voltage drops, overheating, and premature failure of components. Now, whether you need power factor correction depends on your specific situation. But it’s something worth looking into, especially for larger facilities. A little investment can pay off big by lowering utility costs and avoiding headaches down the road.

When it comes to power factor, the ideal number you want to aim for is as close to 1.0 as possible. Let me break it down for you. Power factor is a ratio that shows how efficiently you’re using the electricity you’re paying for. A power factor of 1.0 means you’re using 100% of the power coming from the utility for actual work – running motors, lights, computers, etc. The lower the power factor drops below 1.0, the more you’re wasting money on electricity that isn’t doing any useful work for you. It’s called reactive power, and it’s just circulating back and forth without actually powering anything. Most utilities want you above 0.9 power factor at minimum. Getting closer to unity – that perfect 1.0 number – is even better for your overall electrical efficiency and costs. Now, it’s practically impossible to maintain an absolute 1.0 power factor all the time with motors and other inductive loads cycling on and off. But 0.95 or higher is a good target range to shoot for through power factor correction. Any lower than that, and you’re just throwing money away every month on those utility charges for reactive power you don’t use. So do yourself a favor and get that power factor cleaned up if your facility is running with a low number. It’ll pay off big time.
