Signs Your Power Factor Correction Unit Needs Servicing
A poorly maintained PFC unit gradually loses efficiency, leading to:
- Increased reactive power (kVAr).
- Higher maximum demand charges (kVA) from electricity providers.
- Greater system losses, reducing active power savings.
PFC units are designed to run 24/7 and need annual servicing and maintenance to keep their performance optimised. If you haven’t had your PFC serviced regularly, you may get these warning signs:
- Unexpected increases in energy bills
- Frequent circuit breaker trips or power factor penalties
- Burnt or overheated capacitor banks
- Unusual noises from the PFC unit
- Visible dust accumulation or airflow blockages
If you experience any of these issues, schedule your power factor equipment servicing with Quality Energy today. We work with on-site engineers, electricians and contractors. We will identify the cause of the issues and take steps to rectify them. For our interstate clients, initial consultations can happen over the phone to determine whether or not a call out is necessary.
We service, repair and maintain power factor correction equipment for some of Australia’s biggest brands, including:
Power Factor Correction Failure: A Preventable Disaster
Our team was called to inspect this PFC unit at a large shopping centre, only to find it had completely burned out. Upon closer inspection, it became evident that the system had suffered from years of neglect, leading to overloaded capacitors, failing contactors, and excessive heat buildup—ultimately resulting in a fire that destroyed the unit.
The Consequences of Neglected PFC Maintenance:
- Higher Electricity Bills: Without a functioning PFC unit, businesses incur power factor penalties and increased demand charges.
- Severe Fire Hazards: Heat buildup in failing capacitors or contactors can cause electrical fires, endangering property and lives.
- Costly Downtime and Repairs: Once a PFC unit reaches this level of failure, replacement is the only option, leading to unnecessary expenses and business disruptions.
Don’t let this happen to you! Our expert technicians can inspect, maintain, and repair your PFC unit before disaster strikes.
