Automatic Capacitor Banks

High voltage automatic power factor correction banks are suitable for plants and installations, where load on the power system is fluctuating. In this type of bank, the total kva is divided into a number of steps equal or unequal- depending upon the load conditions. The capacitor steps are switched in or out through a contactor, controlled by a power factor controller of type MCX. If a discharge coil (Voltage Transformer) is connected along with the steps, the discharge time of capacitors get reduced to 10 seconds (otherwise it is 10 minutes). This would enable rapid reconnection of steps.These banks are equipped with:Sheet metal enclosure.H.R.C. Fuses for capacitor steps with fuse failure indication.Vacuum Contactor or SF6 Circuit Breaker.
