Electrical panels, and particularly power factor correction panels, serve as the critical hubs ensuring the uninterrupted, safe, and economical operation of industrial facilities and commercial buildings. However, even the slightest engineering error during panel design, component selection, or installation can lead to severe and costly consequences over time—ranging from overheating and abnormal noise to system inadequacy, reactive power penalties, and even panel fires.

What steps should we take to use our energy efficiently during a time when energy conservation is of great importance? What kind of energy efficiency solutions do we offer as Grup Arge?

An energy monitoring system enables you to collect and report data from every supported device in your business that consumes electricity, water and natural gas in a certain time period. Thanks to the IoT control feature, you can transform your business to a smart business and control every electrical device by heat or any other input signal, either manually or automated. This enables you to check every light, machine, air conditioning etc. in your plant.

As the industrial plants got digitalized and automated, the power electronic based loads have increased rapidly. However, this modern transformation, ranging from motors to LED illumination, has also brought a serious power quality problem in power grids called “Harmonic Distortion”. As Grup Arge, it is our primary objective to protect hardware safety and system sustainability while minimizing the reactive power penalty risks.

Compensation panels are critical components in electrical grids used to enhance the power factor and increase the energy efficiency. These panels decrease power losses by balancing the reactive power and enable the system to run more efficiently. The equipment used in compensation panels carries out various functions to make the systems run safely, efficiently, and constantly. Here are some equipment that is commonly used in compensation panels.

A Voltage Protection Relay is a microprocessor based device that activates by creating a magnetic field as long as there is current passing through. It transmits the current, while protecting motors and circuits against over/undervoltage, phase failures/absences and phase sequence faults.

Ensuring the safety of electrical installations is of utmost importance in both human safety and system sustainability. Leakage current protection systems, the building block of safety in these systems, provide a crucial and necessary infrastructure in a wide range of areas, from industrial plants to commercial buildings. The Current Leakage Relay (KAR) and Torodial Current Transformers (TAT) series, developed by Grup Arge, allows you to safely and precisely build this infrastructure.

Time relays are microprocessor based control devices that activate the load connected to a device when needed, adjusting the contact control by time and function in facilities where time is critical. Usually used in automation systems and control panels of power circuits, time relays essentially control the systems by changing the relay positions either with or without delay.
