Power Factor Correction

Talk to us about how our Commercial Power Factor Correction (PFC) expertise can significantly benefit your commercial power consumption, industrial power consumption, and overall power supply.

Recognised as a leading contractor for the installation of Power Factor Correction equipment, Fourth Phase Electrics can provide advice, design, installation and commissioning services. Poor Power Factor within industrial sites can be addressed to reduce your peak kVAr Demand Tarriff. The flow-on benefit is that your power/energy bills shall then deliver significant savings to your business.

There are solutions to reduce your cost of business – and Fourth Phase Electrics can help you.

By integrating both PFC and Solar you can achieve better carbon offset targets, whilst optimising the supply to your premises, thus saving your company serious money (by reducing kVAr tariffs and offsetting your usage through solar).

Fourth Phase Electrics can work with you to provide a customised design to upgrade your systems, with heightened technology that will likely reduce your carbon footprint, lower your energy consumption, and optimise your supply.

What are the real benefits of Power Factor Correction?

At Fourth Phase Electrics, we realise how important finding the right solution to your power factor requirements can be. Not only is there a huge financial incentive to get it under control, there are also added benefits such as increasing the longevity of your equipment, and reduced burden on your supply transformer and phase balancing.

An industrial plant with a poor power factor is likely paying significantly more for electricity through kVAr tarriffs, and will potentially experience a variety of other issues such as electric motors/equipment failing quickly, with an increased burden on supply transformers, switchboards and bus bars.

For example – You’ll be paying more because:

What is an SVG Unit?

Fourth Phase Electrics is a leader in the field as Fuseco Power Solutions’ recommended installer of Sinexcel SVG units. These units use solid state devices to inject reactive current back into the grid – directly offsetting the poor power factor caused by the load currents. The grid will automatically see a greatly improved power factor, meaning that your energy retailer company will penalise you less.

Out with the old and in with the new technology = Lower Costs and Better Functionality too!

An SVG unit is far superior to the old technology of capacitor banks. Why? They are solid state, they can match the load profile within milliseconds, and they have virtually no lagging effect. The old technology of capacitor banks uses contactors to switch in/out the capacitors, which can take many seconds – by the time it finally does this, the load profile has completely changed, and the power factor remains poor, or over-compensated.

In addition to the speed at which an SVG unit can improve the power factor, the SVG unit also has virtually no-ongoing maintenance costs – it doesn’t rely on capacitors which are renowned for failing (or blowing) when you need them most!

Still unsure? We’ll consult with you.

The design, installation and commissioning of SVG Units to match with and upgrade your current equipment systems is our forte.

If you would like to know more about the benefits of installing Power Factor Correction, please feel free to get in touch with us today. We can arrange a site visit from our Director, Casey Landman, with National Product Manager, David Gale (from Fuseco). We’ll consult with you about how a complete turn-key solution can be achieved at your facility – to help reduce your operational/energy costs and maintenance issues, and improve your environmental impact. * Please note: Consultation Fees may apply.

“Fourth Phase Electrics would be at the TOP of our list for the installation, connection and commissioning of Power Factor Correction equipment and active harmonic filters for Harmonic Mitigation.

I was instantly drawn to the upfront honesty and integrity of Casey and his team. In our industry, all works must be strictly to Australian Standards. There’s no room for fluff or cutting corners. What I value highly about Casey is that he respects our position of doing the work completely to specifications – it’s in his nature to do it once, and do it right anyway. His attention to detail and accuracy is entirely predictable. He thinks and plans, and the way he goes about everything is a credit to him as a business person. For example, we recommended Fourth Phase as our preferred contractor for a small Power Factor Correction installation and commissioning job for True Foods in Maryborough. The trust that he engendered from the client was so significant that the job has now run into a second tier, where the company is investing in a massive Major Switchboard Upgrade as well.

Casey has the ability to assess any project, listen to the client’s needs, and deliver simple, neat and complete solutions that don’t infringe on the client’s building, infrastructure or production schedules any more than is absolutely necessary. If the avoidance of shutting down production for any length of time is critical (as for the True Foods project), and especially where perishables are involved, Casey will find a way to remove the obstacles and run the installation program to suit the client in the most non-disruptive way possible.

Fourth Phase Electrics don’t just do the job, they think, design, plan, and attack each project with the utmost professionalism. And Fuseco has absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. Our values and business ethics are completely in sync.”

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Casey and his team just finished some electrical work at our home and I couldn’t recommend them more! Casey gave fantastic advice, explained things in a way that was easy to understand and his recommendations and expertise gave us a really great final result. His team were all so friendly, professional and cleaned up so well that I didn’t even know they had been in our home (which is so rare for a tradie!) If you’re needing some electrical work done I couldn’t recommend them more highly. Thanks guys!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of dealing with Casey a few times now. I needed urgent help at my property in lilydale that required an excavator. Contacted Casey and he was there the next morning with the machine and saved the day. An absolute pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend for any electrical needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I received a recommendation to use Fourth Phase Electrics, and engaged them in October 2023, to upgrade our Electrical Meter Box, and install lighting, relocate our NBN and connect an extended network cable to the external office.  Casey and the team were extremely professional, and their good natured approach to the work was a joy to witness.  As our home is older, their ability to find solutions and ensure their work was clean and tidy was exemplary.  I highly recommend Fourth Phase Electrics as you will receive high quality work, that is done on time and without any fuss.
