The risk of reactive penalty is reflected in your monthly bill. endüktif reaktif enerjinin aktif enerjiye oranının %20’yi, kapasitif oranının %15’i aşması This occurs when (approximately cosφ ≥ 0.98 is targeted). Enter the values from your invoice into the tool below to see your rates and status in seconds.

Endüktif oran = Endüktif kVArh ÷ Aktif kWh · Sınır: %20 (endüktif), %15 (kapasitif)
Example calculation: Aktif 42.000 kWh, endüktif 6.500 kVArh, kapasitif 300 kVArh → endüktif oran %15,5, kapasitif %0,7, cosφ ≈ 0,99 → her iki eşiğin (%20 / %15) altında, ceza riski yok.

General thresholds: In common practice, it's monthly. endüktif reaktif enerji ≤ aktif enerjinin %20'si, kapasitif ≤ %15'i should be (approximately cosφ ≥ 0.98). Binding thresholds and penalty conditions may vary depending on EPDK regulations and your distribution company; exemptions may apply depending on your consumer class. This information is for preliminary purposes only; the final assessment will be based on your invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the reactive penalty limit percentage?
Yaygın uygulamada aylık endüktif reaktif enerji aktif enerjinin %20’sini, kapasitif ise %15’ini aşmamalıdır. Bağlayıcı eşik EPDK mevzuatı ve dağıtım şirketinize göre değişebilir.
How can reactive penalties be prevented?
With a properly sized and regularly maintained compensation (capacitor) system, the power factor is kept above the target value.
What should cosφ be?
To stay below penalty thresholds, the power factor is generally targeted at 0.98 or higher.
