Frako Power Quality Controller Easy Commissioning Video

Frako Power Quality Controller Easy Commissioning Video will show the process for the PQC Controller set-up. The reactive power control relay offers maximum system reliability.  The FRAKO Power Quality Controller (PQC)  maintains the optimum ratio between active and reactive power.  This intelligent reactive power control relay is ideal for plant designers, system installers, and system integrators looking to simplify set-up and monitoring with easy auto-commissioning.

The FRAKO Power Factor Control Relays automatically detects the amount of kVAR needed to meet a target power factor and switches in the proper amount.  The auto-commissioning feature identifies the current and kVAR requirements of normal loads and avoids over-compensation at light loads.
