Low (LV) reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering solutions help customers to improve the performance of installations through energy savings and better power quality, enabling end users to save money and reduce the environmental impact of their operations.
The low-voltage capacitor QCap from Hitachi Energy has the following features: Included. Discharge from Un to 50V in 1 minute 1 stud (M12). Recommended torque: 10Nm Cage screws. Recommended torque: 2Nm Low-voltage QCap capacitors address low power factor and consequently increase the power quality of the installations.
The low voltage power capacitors comply with most national and international standards. Other voltages up to 1,000 V are available on request. Capacitor elements made of metallised polypropylene film are self-healing and dry without impregnation liquid. Each capacitor element is individually protected with patented internal fuse protection.
Reactive power compensation is controlled with the N-6 high performance reactive power controller. Power factor correction by means of conventional capacitor banks is not possible in systems affected by harmonics. This is because the harmonic currents are amplified in the parallel resonant circuit formed by the capacitor and the network.
Automatic capacitor banks are used for centralized power factor correction at the main and sub distribution boards. Power factor correction means that reactive power charges imposed by electricity utilities can be avoided.
QCap capacitor units are used in industrial and commercial installations for reactive power compensation applications. Why Hitachi Energy?
