Power factor calculations made easy
Schneider Electric introduces a simple new on line
calculator to aid energy savings and cost reductions for
everyone
Power factor makes a big difference to electricity
bills, yet few people appreciate the cost reduction
impact the installation of power factor correction
equipment can have. In response, Schneider Electric has
constructed an easy to use power factor correction
calculator that’s free to use on the company’s website
at www.schneider.co.uk. The calculator presents results
in terms of potential financial, CO2 and power savings.
The perfect theoretical power factor is 100%, or unity,
whereby all the power drawn from the supply is used
doing functional things. However, much equipment
requires power before it usefully functions – such as
electric motors whose coils must be energised to create
a magnetic flux before the motor can begin to turn. This
power is known as reactive energy and while it appears
invisible, it is charged for on the utility bill. Simply
applied power factor correction equipment uses
capacitance to locally provide the reactive energy such
that all the power drawn from the supply can be applied
for functional use.
The Power Factor Calculator simply requires just three
values (found on any electricity bill) to work out how
much can be saved: Maximum Demand (kW), Power Factor and
kVA Availability charge.
Once this information has been entered, the calculator
instantly works out how much money could be saved per
year, how many kg of CO2 could be saved per year, and
how much power could be made available for other loads.
By emailing these results directly from the page, using
the years of experience of Schneider Electric in saving
money for British industry, representatives will then
analyse the results, suggest a site survey if
appropriate and then communicate the most efficient way
to achieve the savings.
