If the contract power is 9 kW and above, it is obligatory to install a compensation system. The compensation system not only increases the quality of the energy we already use, but also allows us to consume economically without loss.
What is Compensation?
Inductive and capacitive forces, defined as unwanted forces, can cause the phase difference between current and voltage in our system to increase or decrease. We try to keep this phase shift close to zero by installing a compensation system. In this way, the effect of unwanted powers on our consumption is minimized.
Reactive Power limits are given in the table below.
POWER OF CONTRACT | INDUCTIVE | CAPACITIVE |
Less than 30 KW | %33 | %20 |
Greater than 30 KW | %20 | %15 |
If the above-mentioned limits are exceeded, a penalty fee is reflected on your invoice by the institution from which you have received electricity. Many businesses are careless when examining their electricity bills and are not even aware of this by paying a penalty fee for nothing. In order to avoid such situations, your compensation system should be checked regularly and daily consumption values should be recorded.
As Beta Elektrik, we monitor the values of your compensation system on a daily basis and in cases that pose a risk of penalty, we identify and intervene with our maintenance team as soon as possible. In this way, you both use cleaner energy and get rid of unnecessary penalty fees.
