Automatic Equipment for Power Factor Correction

Photo: Automatic Equipment for Power Factor Correction ELECTRONICON designs, manufactures and supplies automatic capacitor systems for power factor correction as wall-mounted cabinets for power ratings up to 150 kVAr and as detuned or non-detuned standing cabinets for power ratings up to 1200 kVAr.

All banks made by ELECTRONICON are constructed using a modular design which can easily be extended, enabling further capacitance to be installed cost-effectively.

Detuned capacitor banks manufactured by ELECTRONICON are always designed to produce the exact amount of reactive power with relation to the rated system voltage, regardless of what voltage exists inside the system due to the resonance circuitry.

Modules for Power Factor Correction Equipment

ELECTRONICON offers modules for the construction and extension of complex PFC equipment. These modules are prepared for standard-size industrial-style enclosures available from leading manufacturers.

The so-called extension modules incorporate capacitors, contactors, discharge devices and fusegear, and - if necessary - harmonic filter reactors as a backplate assembly, prepared for immediate connection without the need for further modification. This avoids the unnecessary expense of installing further metalwork where the consumer has space available in his distribution board. This option is also very popular with switchboard manufacturers since it enables cost effective assembly of their PFC equipment. It also offers the opportunity to update or extend the installed equipment where necessary by simply exchanging old or inserting new modules.

An extension-module can incorporate terminals, control fuses, transformers, and other equipment for the connection of the automatic power factor controller. These items can also be mounted on an additional control module. This type of module is a pure control unit without capacitors and reactors.

The capacitors in our modules can be oil-impregnated MPP or semi-dry MKP types. For detuned modules MPP capacitors are installed as standard.
