Product model
Type Selection Guide
Use the standard formula to determine the reactive power (Qc) you need:
- P: Line active power (kW)
- cosφ1: Original power factor
- cosφ2: Target power factor (typically 0.95)
Step 2: Choose Your Configuration Strategy
| Configuration | Application Scenario | Capacity Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed Compensation | Baseline reactive demand or ≤10% of transformer no-load capacity | 5–10% of total kVar |
| 1 Auto-Switched Group | Moderate load fluctuation (≤30% difference between peak/regular) | 1:1 (e.g., 100kVar) |
| 2 Auto-Switched Groups | Large load fluctuation (>30% difference) | 1:2 (e.g., 100+200kVar) |
| Control Mode | Mounting Location | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Reactive Current Regulation | Line Inlet | Minimum 70% of load current shall pass through the sampling CT. |
| Voltage Regulation | Line Outlet (LV Terminals) | Overcompensation is allowed; CT sampling is not needed. |
| General Principle | 2/3 – 3/4 along the line | Placement near the load center reduces reactive power transmission loss. |
- Fixed Compensation Unit: Consists of a drop fuse, arrester, and capacitor bank. Install downstream of the load center.
- Voltage Control: Applied when line-end voltage is <90% of nominal voltage. Overcompensation will temporarily increase voltage; monitor closely to avoid a leading power factor.
Scenario: A 10kV line with regular load P = 500kW, cosφ1 = 0.8, targeting cosφ2 = 0.95.
Calculation: Qc = 500 × (0.75 - 0.33) = 210 kVar
Recommended Implementation: Fixed: 20kVar (10% of total) + Auto-Switched: 100kVar + 90kVar (1:0.9 ratio).
FAQ
Q1: How does the IP54 enclosure perform in extreme weather conditions?
A: The IP54 outdoor enclosure is specifically designed for harsh environments. It is fully sealed against dust ingress and protected against water splashes. The enclosure also features an internal anti-condensation heater and ventilation system to prevent moisture buildup during extreme temperature fluctuations (-40°C to +50°C).
Q2: What happens if the grid experiences severe harmonic distortion?
A: Our compensation cabinet is equipped with built-in THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) monitoring and harmonic overload protection. If the harmonic level exceeds the safe threshold, the controller will automatically lock the capacitor switching to prevent resonance and protect the capacitors from premature failure.
Q3: Can this outdoor cabinet be integrated into our existing SCADA system?
A: Yes. The unit supports standard RS485 communication and comes with the standard "four-remote" functions (telemetry, remote control, remote setting, and remote alarm). It can be easily integrated into most third-party SCADA or energy management systems via standard protocols.
