Penalty charges for reactive power? Compensation eliminates overpayment and improves energy quality
Excessive inductive reactive power consumption generates financial penalties on energy bills and degrades power quality — shortening equipment lifespan, causing transformer overheating, and increasing electrical installation losses. Our specialists perform energy quality measurements, select optimal capacitor banks or harmonic filters, and install automatic reactive power compensation systems. Return on investment typically within 12–24 months.
Our Reactive power compensation solutions are dedicated to companies and institutions that want to lower operating costs, boost energy efficiency, and reduce exposure to energy price swings. The TECHNIUS comprehensive approach — from audit to design to delivery and service — guarantees maximum return on investment.
Energy Quality Analysis: Measurements and analysis of electrical energy quality — reactive power, harmonics, power factor.
Capacitor Bank Selection and Installation: Selection of appropriate compensation devices and professional installation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my company is paying penalties for reactive power?
On your electricity bill, look for items such as: charge for consumed inductive reactive energy (kVArh), charge for exceeded reactive power, or a power factor (tgφ) above 0.4. If these items are on your bill — your company is paying penalties. Our free invoice review will tell you how much you are overpaying.
What is the difference between a capacitor bank and a harmonic filter?
A capacitor bank compensates for inductive reactive power and improves the power factor (cos φ). A harmonic filter eliminates higher current harmonics generated by inverters, VFD drives, and UPS systems. Installations with a large number of controlled drives require an active or passive filter, not just a capacitor bank.
How quickly does an investment in reactive power compensation pay for itself?
The payback period depends on the level of penalties on invoices and the installation cost. For a typical plant paying 2,000–5,000 PLN/month in reactive power penalties, the compensation cost (20,000–60,000 PLN) is recouped within 12–24 months. After this period, savings are pure profit.
Does reactive power compensation require shutting down the plant?
Installing a capacitor bank usually does not require a long production interruption — we perform the work during planned downtimes or weekends. Automatic (thyristor) compensation operates continuously and does not disrupt production processes.
