One of India’s largest 2W Rim manufacturer uses Newen’s Power Electronics for power factor improvement and maximum demand reduction
Sector:
Auto Components, India
Challenges:
- Welding, punching and painting operations demand heavy reactive power to the tune of 250% of contract demand of active power
- PF goes as low as 0.5 while the requirement is at 0.995.
