Compensation Panels

It is the panel where the necessary device, capacitor and measuring instruments are located to correct the power coefficient of the facility. Inductive loads (motors, transformers, ballasts, etc.) also draw reactive power. Generating reactive power in the closest place to the point where it is needed has great benefits in terms of operating the electrical system in the best conditions. Compensation event, meeting the reactive power needs of the electrical system and the loads using certain techniques is called reactive power compensation. In other words, the process of increasing the small power coefficient of a coiled load to a larger value is called correction of the power coefficient or compensation. By correcting the power coefficient, Cos φ is approached to 1, but it is usually increased to 0.95-0.98, since it is not economical to make it exactly 1.
