Reactive Penalty Tracking System: Drive the Penalty to Zero
The Argus EMS reactive penalty tracking system samples kVAr every 15 minutes, computes the cumulative inductive/capacitive ratio across the month, and alerts the site team before the EPDK threshold is breached — saving up to 20% on your bill.
How Is Reactive Penalty Calculated?
Under EPDK regulations, if inductive reactive energy (motors, transformers, HVAC) exceeds 20% of active energy, or capacitive reactive (over-compensation) exceeds 15%, a penalty is applied.%20'sini geçerse, kapasitif reaktif (aşırı kompanzasyon) ise %15'ini geçerse ceza uygulanır.
Monthly reactive penalties can range from 50,000 to 500,000 TL in large facilities. Argus EMS tracks the cumulative ratio throughout the month and alerts the site team when approaching the threshold.
How It Works
- 15-minute kVAr and kWh measurement
- Instantaneous inductive/capacitive ratio calculation
- Cumulative penalty forecast from start of month
- Tiered warning as the EPDK threshold approaches, urgent alarm before it is exceeded
- Compensation panel capacitor bank monitoring
- Monthly reactive energy report in EPDK format (PDF)
What Is the Reactive Penalty Tracking System?
The Argus reactive penalty tracking system samples kVAr every 15 minutes, computes the cumulative approach to the EPDK 20% inductive / 15% capacitive thresholds, and alerts the site team before the threshold is breached — saving up to 20% on the bill.
Who Is It For?
- Industrial parks and factories with monthly reactive penalties of ₺50,000–500,000
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities subject to EPDK inspection (MRI, CT loads)
- Shopping centres, hotels and commercial buildings with compensation panels
- Manufacturing and industrial facilities with high motor loads
- Facility and energy managers with reactive penalty line items in their budgets

Case Study
Large-Scale Hospital Complex (Istanbul): Reactive compensation optimisation prevented ₺180,000 in annual EPDK penalties. MRI/CT reactive load was mapped, EPDK threshold was never breached. ROI achieved in 3 months.Büyük Ölçekli Hastane Kompleksi (İstanbul): Reaktif kompanzasyon optimizasyonu ile yıllık ₺180.000 EPDK ceza önlendi. MRI/CT reaktif yükü haritalandı, EPDK eşiği hiç aşılmadı. ROI 3 ayda gerçekleşti.
