Medium Voltage Capacitor Bank Specifications

The application of this unit is for power factor improvement without adverse system interactions.

Medium voltage capacitor bank specifications.

Up to 1200 kvar load break switch manually operated pfc controller with rs485 modbus communication. Capacitors are very beneficial in power grids. Click here to view and download the specs medium voltage multistep filter bank specification i. Medium voltage equipment is for nominal voltages greater than 1 000 volts and less than 100 000 volts.

High voltage equipment is applied. This increases the transmission capacity and reduces losses thanks to higher power factors. Low voltage and medium voltage capacitor banks power factor correction capacitor banks decrease. This unit shall meet all.

Docx 292 kb 6 4 2020. This specification covers the electrical characteristics and mechanical features of three phase 60 hertz self contained metal enclosed harmonic filter bank. The ratings for the integrated pad mounted medium voltage three phase capacitor banks shall be as follows. Capacitor bank nominal voltage.

Low voltage products per ansi standards low voltage equipment is for use with nominal system voltages less than 1 000 volts. Eaton s mv autovar product line is comprised of metal enclosed medium voltage capacitor banks for applications with varying plant power factors. Standard specification for pad mounted capacitor banks for 15kv or 25kv applications kvar rating of the capacitor bank the total kvar for the capacitor bank shall be specified. A capacitor bank is generally composed of several single phase or three phase unit capacitors assembled and interconnected to produce high power assemblies called capacitor banks.

Medium voltage capacitors are composed of elementary or partial capacitors generally connected in several series parallel groups providing the required electrical characteristics for the unit. They provide the reactive power needed by electrical motors transformers etc. Up to 690 v 50 60 hz nominal power. Capacitor units should be capable of continuous operation up to 110 of rated terminal rms 5 voltage and a crest peak voltage not exceeding 2 x 2 of rated rms voltage including harmonics but excluding transients the capacitor should also be able to carry 135 of nominal current.

Since this is typically a three phase application and the most. Capacitors units should not give less than 100 and more than 115 of rated reactive power at rated.
