Reactive Power Compensation System

Epcos offers indoor as well as outdoor pad mounted/metal clad Reactive Power Compensation (RPC) System for various applications. These are metal clad switched or fixed capacitor banks of various configurations customised for specific applications. Switched capacitor banks have specially designed and manufactured vacuum contactors for switching of capacitor banks. The panels are designed for indoor as well outdoor installations with various degrees of ingress protection. Depending upon the application and configuration various values of damping reactors are provided to enhance the performance. Specification: size/rating – 100 to 18000 kVAr; rated voltage – 3.3/6.6/11 kV; number of steps – 1-8; control mode – auto/manual; control parameter – load current/load power factor; damping reactor – 0.2% and 6% (optional); configuration – delta/star/double star; and installation – indoor/outdoor. Features: required less space for installation; suitable for indoor/outdoor installation; optimum compensation of reactive kVA in case of switched capacitor banks; and choice of cable entry locations. EPCOS, a TDK Group Company, develops, manufactures and markets electronic components, modules and systems. Thanks to the approximately 25,000 employees at more than 20 design and production locations and an extensive sales network outside of Europe, the company is well-equipped to work closely with customers and create the right solutions for them.
