Reactive energy compensation
Reactive energy is a form of energy present in electrical installations where there are components such as motors.
Reactive energy must be corrected to optimize the consumption of a company’s electrical energy. Indeed, the more the power of the reactive energy is degraded, the higher the amount of the electrical bill. Therefore, correcting the power factor generates significant savings on your electricity bills.
Benefits of reactive energy compensation
Improving the quality of energy
A reactive energy compensation system reduces voltage drops and increases the active power provided by the components.
Reduction of electricity consumption costs
Optimizing the costs of electricity consumption allows you to avoid the penalties imposed by the electricity supplier and even benefit from bonuses.
Increase the efficiency of your equipment
The power factor correction will have a direct impact on the service life of electrical equipment and components.
How to achieve reactive energy compensation?
In order to avoid reactive energy being present on the electrical grid, it is necessary to opt for the compensation and correction of the power factor via the installation of the capacitors or batteries of condansateurs.

Capacitor Batteries
Fixed
compensation
Fixed
compensation
Fixed compensation is often reserved for applications where reactive power is low (less than 15% of the transformer power) and the load is fairly stable.
Automatic Compensation
Automatic Compensation
The capacitor battery can be activated in increments, with more or less “bleachers” being started automatically.
Partial
compensation
Partial
compensation
This compensation is intended for workshops with a set of equipment.
