The Hidden Cost of Inefficient Motor Cable Runs
- Energy loss in long cables between MDBs and motors or LDBs.
- The root cause: resistance in cables, especially over long distances, that results in heat generation and wasted energy.
- Increased electricity bills, reduced equipment efficiency, potential for overheating, and higher operating costs.
Challenges
- System stability, improved power quality, and reduced electrical loss.
- Reduced energy bills, reduced operating costs, and extended equipment life, improved compliance.
- Reduced downtime, increased production uptime, and improved operational reliability.
Solutions
- CBC Smart Capacitors as the solution to reduce cable losses.
- The intelligent capacitor is strategically placed near the motor or LDB to address power factor right at
- the source and minimize reactive power in cables.

Solutions
Reduced Current Flow
By locally correcting the power factor, smart capacitors reduce the amount of current required to deliver the same amount of power to the loads. This directly minimizes the energy lost as heat in the long cable runs.
Improved Voltage Stability
By reducing the current flowing through the cables, smart capacitors also help improve voltage stability at the load end, ensuring more consistent and reliable operation of equipment.
Targeted Correction
Smart capacitors can dynamically adjust their capacitance based on the real-time demand of the load. This ensures
optimal power factor correction at all times, unlike fixed capacitor banks which can become less effective as
Annual Cost Savings
- The annual cost savings represents the total reduction in electricity expenses achieved after implementing the smart capacitors. This is primarily due to the reduction in cable losses and improved power factor.
- Cost saving Table in the report details the total annual savings, calculated to be 24,655 baht.
