POWER FACTOR CONTROL GETS EVEN EASIER. With the EPFC automatic regulators line, Microidea pushes further the industrial PFC concept, making programming and installation operations even simpler. These appliances read phase shifts / absorbed load voltage in real-time and, through a dedicated algorithm, switch on and off capacitor banks to maintain the system's power factor within the limits intended and set by the National Authority. The EPFC phase modifier is designed to employ the linked capacitor banks at their maximum efficiency, balancing the insertion number and the insertion total time. The 128x64-resolution display allows to visualize and instantaneously follow the trend of tension, current flow, and eventual harmonic distortions waveforms, for an immediate visive analysis of the facility. The smart guided-interface made programming easy allowing to move among the parameters with extreme fluidity. The EPFC is equipped with the VISIO system, incorporated in the semi-transparent silicon keyboard; it intuitively informs the maintenance straight-away about the state of the facility with three different illumination colors; Red for alarm situations, yellow for transition phases (where the configuration of the steps is switching) and green for normal situations. These devices offer multilingual management of the interface with the pre-installation of Italian, English, Spanish and Russian. The EPFC line carries the RS485 port but is also available on demand with the ETHERNET module. All the versions have a proprietary communication protocol, besides the Mod-bus RTU , offering the possibility to be easily interfaced with SCADA systems.
