In 2009 a new high technology R&D Centre was opened as part of the Company’s R&D strategy and one major development from this investment has been the introduction of Power Factor Correction and Flexible Voltage technology across a range of MMA. TIG and Plasma machines. Power Factor Correction (PFC) technology offers the user a host of benefits, not least in reducing power consumption. The requirement for less power also allows the user to weld at higher levels on a lower power supply - a real world advantage when you consider that the most prevalent power supply in the UK is just 13 Amps. Using GYS’s PFC equipped MMA machines will allow high duty cycle welding at 160amps (sufficient for 4mm rods) on a regular 13 Amp power supply, whereas normally one would expect to have to find a 16 Amp power supply. Normally a 160A machine without PFC, is capable of welding only 3.2mm electrodes at 125A using a 13 Amp fused plug. What is Power Factor Correction? |
