Looking for reliable power factor correction? SEEtech Solutions has over 30 years of experience in power management and delivering significant energy savings for industries across India! This image showcases one of our Automatic Power Factor Controller (APFC) panel installations, meticulously designed to optimize energy consumption and minimize waste.

But why is power factor correction so crucial right now, especially in Maharashtra? The Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) has recently approved a new tariff structure that significantly impacts commercial and industrial consumers. Specifically, the Commission has approved kVAh billing for LT (Low Tension) consumers with a load exceeding 20kW.  

This shift to kVAh billing is a game-changer. Traditionally, electricity bills focused primarily on kWh (kilowatt-hour), which measures active power – the power that does the actual work. However, kVAh (kilovolt-ampere-hour) takes into account both active power (kW) and reactive power (kVAR). Reactive power doesn’t perform useful work but circulates in the system, increasing the overall current and burdening the distribution network.  

With the introduction of kVAh billing, a low PF directly translates to higher bills. A lower PF means your system is drawing more current to deliver the same amount of useful power, leading to increased kVAh consumption. This can result in substantial financial penalties and erode your profitability. Hence, maintaining a PF as close to unity (1.0) as possible has become not just beneficial but absolutely imperative for commercial and industrial consumers in Maharashtra.  

SEEtech Solutions understands these challenges intimately. Our APFC panels are engineered to automatically monitor and correct your PF, ensuring optimal energy utilization. By injecting reactive power into the system, our panels counteract the effects of inductive loads (like motors and transformers), bringing your PF closer to unity. This translates to:

• Reduced kVAh consumption and lower electricity bills  
• Elimination of PF penalties from MSEDCL
• Increased electrical system efficiency and capacity
• Improved voltage levels and reduced voltage drops
• Enhanced equipment performance and lifespan

Don’t let the new tariff structure catch you off guard. Take control of your energy costs and secure your financial future. Contact SEEtech Solutions today for a comprehensive energy audit and a customized APFC solution. Let our 30+ years of expertise work for you.
