Power Factor Correction in Jeddah
Saudi Power Factor Company provides power factor correction in Jeddah for food, packaging, plastics, metal and port-side plants, hotels and hospitals. We are based in Dammam on the Gulf coast, so a Jeddah job is planned as a remote-quoted, freight-delivered project with a clear commissioning arrangement. You still get a sized proposal within one working day.
What you receive: a written Jeddah proposal with kVAr, coastal enclosure specification, freight plan and price within one working day of receiving your bill. Request a quotation
Why does a Jeddah panel need a different specification?
Jeddah's humid, salt-laden air attacks busbars, lugs and thin-gauge steel faster than dry inland air does. We ask for the plant location and the electrical room conditions, then specify coatings, gland plates, space heaters and filters to suit. The kVAr sum is the same as anywhere else; the enclosure and ventilation are what change. Enclosures run from IP31 to IP54 indoors and IP55 for outdoor or kiosk use.
Is a power factor of 0.7 good?
It is low for an industrial supply. At 0.70 the plant carries about 43% more current than at 1.00 for the same kW, which loads cables and the transformer and usually draws a charge where the tariff applies one. Our APFC panels typically bring such loads to a target near 0.95 or above, and tariff rules are set by SEC. Under the Saudi Electricity Company tariff: 0.90 is the minimum above 1 MVA contract load; we design to 0.95.
How is power quality measured in a Jeddah plant?
A logger clamps onto the incoming phases and records voltage, current, power factor and harmonic distortion every few minutes for a week or more. We read the trace for peaks, resonance risks and unbalance, then size the equipment. Our survey instruments come from Elcontrol Energy Net of Bologna, our Italian PFC technology partner. See the power quality survey and Elcontrol partner pages.

Jeddah power factor questions
Who provides power factor correction in Jeddah?
Saudi Power Factor Company provides power factor correction in Jeddah from Dammam, supplying coastal-specified panels, surveys and commissioning support. We hold ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certification, and approvals from Saudi Aramco and SABIC.
What affects the cost of a Jeddah APFC panel?
Cost follows the kVAr, step count, harmonic protection, the coastal enclosure specification and freight from Dammam. Commissioning travel is shown separately. A bill or logger report lets us price against your real demand.
How long does a Jeddah project take?
Lead time is 2–3 weeks for an APFC panel and 3–4 weeks for a detuned bank, plus freight of 2–3 days by road. Drawing approval and your installation date set the rest. We confirm the schedule with the quotation so your electricians can book the shutdown.
Can a Jeddah plant order without an engineer visit first?
Yes. Send your bill, a photo of the electrical room and the transformer rating, and we return a sized proposal. Where more data is needed we ship a logger and walk your electrician through fitting it.
Is there a power factor correction company near me in Jeddah?
Our office is in Dammam, not Jeddah. We support Jeddah clients through remote design, freight and commissioning arrangements agreed at quotation, so you know who attends and when before you order.
