How Capacitor Panel Works | APFC Panel | 16.5 kV HT Capacitor System
In this video, we explain the working of a Capacitor Panel used for power factor correction, with a detailed overview of an APFC (Automatic Power Factor Correction) Panel operating at 16.5 kV with a circuit breaker.
You will learn why capacitor panels are required in electrical systems, how reactive power is compensated, and how the APFC relay automatically switches capacitor banks based on system load. The video also explains the role of HT circuit breakers, contactors, protection relays, CTs, PTs, and safety interlocks used in high-voltage capacitor panels.
This video is highly useful for Electrical Engineers, Power Plant Engineers, Maintenance Engineers, and Diploma/BE students who want practical knowledge of HT capacitor panels, power factor improvement, and energy efficiency in industrial power systems.
