Many industries are not effectively using their electrical power fully, & as a result incur higher energy bills and inefficient power usage. We can correct this by using a technique known as reactive power compensation. This is done by increasing the power factor of the system. Read on to find out more about what the power factor is and why it is necessary to improve it.

Slip ring motors require a high starting torque, and require additional starters. This is achieved by connecting additional starting resistances while starting the rotor circuit. As a result, we require starters that operate on full motor voltage and high starting torque. External resistance is added through slip ring of the motor which restrict the starting current & boost torque to drive various applications.
