Schneider Electric VarSet Low Voltage Capacitor Banks

Schneider Electric has announced the VarSet Low Voltage Capacitor Banks for smart, simple power factor correction. The range has been certified to AS/NZS 61439.1&2 and IEC 61921.

Reactive power and harmonic distortion can cause stress and damage to an electrical network. In addition to the risks associated with the lack of reliability and stability, many utilities charge for the reactive power consumed through kVA tariff billing. Compensating for reactive power with the capacitor banks is an easy way to maintain power factor and quality within the required limits for maximum power system efficiency and cost reduction.

The wall-mounted and floor-standing capacitor banks offer fixed, automatic and dynamic compensation for reactive power. They are specifically designed to allow users, including those working in retail, small to large industrial facilities and commercial buildings, to benefit from improved power quality.

The capacitor banks enable operations to increase energy efficiency, lower utility costs and prevent unplanned downtime due to power loss. Designed for easy installation and maintenance, they are available in a wall-mounted enclosure from 25 to 100 kvar and floor-standing enclosures from 125 to 500 kvar.
