Automatic capacitor banks

Automatic capacitor banks serve the purpose of central power factor correction. This process allows organisations to avoid reactive-power charges that electricity suppliers typically impose.

These systems function through stages managed by a power factor controller. The controller ensures that an appropriate capacitor capacity remains connected to the system at all times, maintaining optimal correction levels.

The equipment features a modular design — all components of the same level (capacitor units, contactors and fuses) are built into one module. This construction facilitates straightforward maintenance and permits simple expansion of capacitor banks when requirements change.
