PS Power Controls is a premier Detuned APFC Panel Manufacturer in Chennai. In modern industrial setups featuring Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), UPS systems, and large-scale LED lighting, harmonics are a major concern. A standard APFC panel can amplify these harmonics through resonance, leading to capacitor failure and system trips. Our Detuned APFC Panels are engineered with high-quality series reactors (7% or 14%) to safely mitigate harmonics and maintain a perfect power factor.
Technical Advantages
Harmonic Blocking
Blocks harmonic currents from entering the capacitors, preventing overheating and premature failure.
THD Reduction
Significantly reduces Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) levels, improving overall power quality.
Extractable Modules
Designed with steel cabinets in extractable module design for easy maintenance and expansion.
CPRI Tested
Built to strict industry standards and CPRI tested for maximum safety and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose a 7% reactor in my APFC panel?
A 7% reactor is the most common choice for industrial loads in Chennai. It detunes the system to 189Hz, which effectively blocks the 5th harmonic (250Hz) and above, which are typically the most destructive in VFD-heavy environments.
Can a detuned panel help with TNEB penalties?
Yes, absolutely. By maintaining a high power factor while safely handling harmonics, you ensure that your facility meets TNEB's strict PF requirements (above 0.95) without the risk of equipment downtime caused by standard capacitor failure.
What capacitors are used in Detuned APFC Panels?
We use specially rated heavy-duty capacitors (typically 480V or 525V rated for a 415V system) to handle the voltage rise across the detuned reactor. Branded components like EPCOS and L&T are our standard.
