Power factor correction (PFC) capacitors

Power factor - the measure of how efficiently power is being used - is a power quality issue that ever facility should be familiar with. Eaton's line of power factor correction products feature technology to meet the needs of every industry. These robust solutions, which include capacitors, reactors and controllers for low-voltage applications, raise facility power factor to meet the requirements of any utility, helping to eliminate costly utility charges.
