Correction capacitor banks

Power factor correction capacitor banks from Janitza Electronics, suitable for LV three-phase power distribution, are now available complete with detuning chokes, discharge resistors, internal busbar system and HRC fusegear.

The capacitors use dry, gas-filled technology and failure protection. Low loss dielectric of metallised polypropylene, PCB free, and nonflammable mineral filling with adhesive stabilisation provide 100% duty cycle.

Banks are available with reactive correction capacity of 150 kVAr and 100 kVAr, with individual step adjustment of 25, 50 and 75 kVAr.

The banks can be directly installed in switchboards and motor control centres or may be housed in TS-series cabinets together with controllers and line monitoring equipment.

The controller provides solid-state/magnetic contactor control whereby it is possible to compensate the basic load by contactors and the fast-changing load component with thyristor switches.

The DIN-rail mounting, UMG 604 power analyser and controller completes the total power factor correction system.

The analyser can provide continuous monitoring and analysis of single- and three-phase, three- and four-wire networks as well as providing energy management and functions as a multifunctional power and harmonics analyser, data logger, kilowatt-hour and kiloVAR-hour meter as well as a maximum demand and PLC controller using logic programming.
