Elspec India Case Study

Complete Power Quality Improvement in the Automotive Manufacturing Industry

How real-time reactive power compensation helped standardize power quality across paint, assembly and press shops at a leading automotive manufacturer in India.

The Challenge

Dynamic production loads needed a faster response

Several production areas had already operated successfully with Elspec technology for more than a decade. The paint, assembly and press shops still relied on conventional APFC capacitor banks, which could not respond quickly enough to changing production loads and rising reactive power demand.

The result was lower power factor, voltage fluctuations, higher current and electrical losses, harmonic distortion, and increased risk to sensitive automation equipment.

The Outcome 10+ years

of proven Elspec performance led to plant-wide standardization.

< 1 cycle

real-time response matched rapidly changing load requirements.
