Siemens Power Factor Correction Panel in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Power Factor Company provides the Siemens power factor correction panel in Saudi Arabia as an automatic assembly built in Dammam around Siemens protection, switching and metering devices. We are an authorised Siemens partner. Each panel is sized in kVAr from your electricity bill or a logged load profile, tested on the bench and delivered with drawings.
What you receive: a written proposal naming the Siemens devices, the kVAr rating, the standard, the lead time and the price within one working day of your bill, load list or specification. Request a quotation
What goes into a Siemens power factor correction panel?
The panel has three jobs: measure the supply, decide how many capacitor steps are needed, and switch them without damage. Siemens supplies the protection and measuring side of that chain. Our engineers add the capacitors, reactors, controller and enclosure to match the site, so the whole assembly follows one design and one test record.
- Incomer and step protection: SENTRON moulded-case and miniature breakers, plus fuse-switch disconnectors, sized for the high inrush of a capacitor step.
- Switching: capacitor-duty contactors with pre-insertion resistors where the step size calls for them.
- Measurement: SENTRON power monitoring devices on the incomer when you want logged kW, kVAr and harmonic readings beside the controller.
- Assembly: a panel built to IEC 61439-1/-2 with segregated capacitor and control compartments.
Which Siemens devices do we fit, and what do they cost?
The table lists the typical scope. Final selection follows your specification or your approved vendor list.
| Item | Range / specification | Standard | Typical lead time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siemens-based APFC panel | 25–1,200 kVAr per panel, 380–415 V, 60 Hz | IEC 61439-1/-2 | 2–3 weeks |
| Siemens-based detuned bank | 50–1,000 kVAr with 5.67%, 7% or 14% reactors | IEC 61921; IEC 60076-6 | 3–4 weeks |
| SENTRON breakers and switch-disconnectors | Per step and incomer current | IEC 60947-2; IEC 60947-3 | Included in build time |
| Capacitor-duty contactors | Per step rating | IEC 60947-4-1 | Included in build time |
| SENTRON power monitoring device | Incomer metering, optional | IEC 61557-12 | Agreed in the quotation |
A Siemens APFC panel price depends on total kVAr, step count, reactor needs and enclosure rating, so we quote each panel from your data and do not publish a catalogue figure.
How do we select the rating of a Siemens panel?
Start from the monthly kVAr demand on your bill. Subtract the target: Saudi Electricity Company asks industrial customers above 1 MVA contract load to keep a power factor of at least 0.90, and we design to 0.95 to stay clear of the limit. The difference gives the kVAr to install. A logged week from a power quality survey refines this, because lightly loaded hours and harmonic content change the step layout. Our panel design and sizing page shows the full method.
How does a Siemens-based panel project run?
- Enquiry. You send the bill, load list or specification.
- Data check. We confirm the incomer rating, fault level, harmonic content and room temperature.
- Design. We issue the single-line diagram and general arrangement naming each Siemens device.
- Build. Our Dammam workshops wire and assemble the panel.
- Factory test. We test wiring, protection and step switching and issue the test record.
- Delivery and commissioning. We set the target power factor and confirm switching under load.
- Support. Contactors, breakers and controllers stay available through our spare parts supply.
Why do specifiers ask for Siemens in PFC work?
Many plants already run Siemens switchgear, drives and automation. A panel with matching breakers shares spares, manuals and training with the rest of the electrical room. We have worked on projects for Saudi Aramco in Jubail and for Saudi Electricity Company in Qassim, and we are approved by Saudi Aramco, SABIC and the Royal Commission. We also service and retrofit panels of other makes, so a Siemens-based bank can sit beside existing equipment.
Siemens partner questions
Who provides a Siemens power factor correction panel in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Power Factor Company provides APFC panels built around Siemens components from its Dammam workshops. We hold authorised partner status for Siemens. The proposal names each Siemens device, so your reviewer can match it against the project specification before we build.
What affects the cost of a Siemens-based APFC panel?
Cost follows total kVAr, the number of steps, the breaker and contactor ratings, whether detuning reactors are needed, the enclosure rating and the testing scope. Send your bill and load data, and the proposal prices each choice separately so you can compare options.
How long does a Siemens-based panel take?
Lead time depends on kVAr, step count and component availability. Our typical figure is 2–3 weeks for an APFC panel and 3–4 weeks for a detuned bank. Quick approval of drawings keeps the schedule short, and the quotation states the exact delivery date.
What is the use of an automatic power factor correction panel?
It keeps the power factor near your target by switching capacitor steps in and out as the load changes. That cuts reactive current, lowers the reactive energy charge on your bill and frees capacity on cables and transformers, without manual adjustment.
How does a power factor controller work?
The controller reads current through a CT and voltage from the supply, calculates the power factor, and compares it with the target. When the value drifts, it closes or opens contactors one step at a time until the reading returns to the target band.
Can you replace capacitors in an existing Siemens panel?
Yes. We inspect the panel, test the capacitors and contactors, and replace worn parts with matching ratings, then verify switching under load. See our capacitor replacement service for the scope of a retrofit.
