We recommend using capacitors with higher nominal voltage than the nominal voltage of the distribution network. In a 400 V distribution network, we recommend capacitors with a nominal voltage of 440 V and capacitors with a nominal voltage of 480 V for detuned power factor correction with reactors.
Individual power factor [...] Controllix Low Voltage Capacitor Banks provide a cost-effective, user friendly, reliable solution for power factor correction. They are a more efficient alternative to individual motor capacitors, especially in large industrial facilities. Controllix units are [...]
Controllix Low Voltage Capacitor Banks provide a cost-effective, user friendly, reliable solution for power factor correction. They are a more efficient alternative to individual motor capacitors, especially in large industrial facilities.
The application of power factor correction capacitor systems can create unwanted increases in harmonic voltage and current unless the capacitors are properly applied with reactors, in series with the capacitor, to suppress harmful harmonics.
Controllix offers custom-designed pad-mounted capacitor banks for power factor correction and voltage support of 5kV, 15kV, 25kV and 35kV load circuits. Banks can be provided with capacitor cells rated up to 600kVAr with up to [...] Controllix designs and builds mobile capacitors for medium and high-voltage systems.
This effect may be caused by the usage of non-linear devices (generation of higher harmonics), low short-circuit power of voltage sources (voltage fluctuation), etc. We recommend using capacitors with higher nominal voltage than the nominal voltage of the distribution network.
