POWER SAVINGS (CAPACITOR INSTALLATIONS)

⚡ Stop Paying for Reactive Power

Improve efficiency, reduce demand charges, and extend equipment life.

Good Electrical LTD helps BC facilities identify and correct low power factor issues through data-driven capacitor installations and system optimization.

🔍 What’s Happening on Your Hydro Bill

If your business runs motors, pumps, compressors, or refrigeration equipment, your system likely draws reactive power that lowers your power factor (PF).

When PF drops below 0.90, your kVA demand increases — meaning you’re billed for power you don’t actually use.

Our solution identifies, corrects, and maintains your system’s efficiency — saving money and freeing up capacity.

⚙️ Our 3-Step Process

1️⃣ Measure:

We install a power quality data logger for 24–72 hours to capture kW, kVAR, and PF data.

This provides a precise snapshot of your system’s electrical profile.

2️⃣ Design:

Using the data, we design a fixed or automatic capacitor bank and size it appropriately.

Where needed, we integrate detuned filters to manage harmonics in VFD-heavy systems.

3️⃣ Install & Maintain:

We complete installation, testing, and provide annual maintenance — including IR scans, torque checks, and controller calibration.
