Product Description

The WLC-22 is a high-performance wattless load controller and power factor correction (PFC) module designed to provide efficient reactive power management, energy optimization, and electrical system protection. In Kenya, the WLC-22 is widely used in industrial plants, commercial buildings, motor control centers, and automation panels, ensuring reduced energy losses, improved system stability, and lower electricity costs. Modern facilities often face challenges from low power factor, reactive power losses, and inefficient energy usage. The WLC-22 addresses these issues by providing real-time monitoring, automatic reactive load compensation, and seamless integration with electrical panels, helping facility managers maintain efficient and reliable operations. Its robust industrial-grade design and compact size make the WLC-22 suitable for industrial plants, commercial facilities, data centers, and utility systems across Kenya. What is WLC-22? The WLC-22 is a multifunctional wattless load controller and PFC module that monitors reactive power, controls capacitor banks, and improves overall power factor in three-phase electrical systems. It is specifically designed to reduce energy losses, stabilize voltage, and enhance system efficiency, particularly in installations with heavy inductive loads like motors, compressors, and industrial machinery. The WLC-22 can integrate with PLC systems, SCADA platforms, and energy management systems (BMS), providing centralized monitoring, real-time alerts, and historical data logging. In Kenya, it is especially useful for industrial and commercial setups aiming to optimize energy consumption and meet utility power factor standards. Key Features of WLC-22 Reactive Power Monitoring – Continuously measures reactive power in the system. Automatic Power Factor Correction – Controls capacitor banks to maintain optimal power factor. Voltage and Current Monitoring – Tracks system parameters to ensure stable operation. Load Control Functionality – Optimizes energy usage and prevents overloading. Compact Industrial Design – Easy integration into control panels, motor control centers, and distribution boards. Communication Interfaces – Supports PLC, SCADA, and BMS integration. Visual Indicators – LED or LCD display shows reactive load, power factor, and capacitor status. Benefits of Using WLC-22 Improved Energy Efficiency Automatically corrects power factor to reduce energy losses and lower electricity bills. Enhanced System Reliability Stabilizes voltage and reduces stress on transformers and electrical components. Cost Savings Minimizes reactive power penalties and improves overall electrical system efficiency. Improved Equipment Lifespan Reduces overheating and wear on motors, capacitors, and industrial machines.

Frequently Asked Questions about WLC-22

The WLC-22 is a multifunctional wattless load controller and power factor correction module for three-phase systems. It continuously measures reactive power, controls capacitor banks automatically and monitors voltage and current so the power factor is maintained. It is intended for installations with heavy inductive loads such as motors, compressors and industrial machinery, where reactive power losses and unstable voltage would otherwise raise energy costs.
The compact industrial design fits into control panels, motor control centres and distribution boards. Typical sites include industrial manufacturing plants, commercial buildings with HVAC, lifts and lighting, data centres and IT facilities, hospitals and healthcare premises, and grid-connected renewable energy systems. In each case it manages reactive load so voltage stays stable and transformers and other components are less stressed.
Cost depends on the size of the installation, the capacitor bank the controller has to switch and how the unit is to be integrated with PLC, SCADA or building management systems. Rather than work from a figure that may not match your configuration, ask for a written quotation and include your panel details, load type and the monitoring platform in use.
