PF Controllers and Accessories

 Intro Pic

Controllers for PFC are of major importance in the compensation system. They measure the actual power factor and connect or disconnect capacitor stages to achieve specific desired values (cos ϕ). All BR604, BR6000 and BR7000 series types feature menu-driven handling in plain language, various languages available. They are all panel-mounted types with an illuminated full graphic display (not for BR604).
