In an L.V/M.V/H.V electrical installation, capacitor banks (or Static var generator/Active harmonic filter)can be installed at 3 different levels. 1.Global installation Advantages: - No reactive energy bill. - Represents the most economical solution since all the power is concentrated at one point and the expansion coefficient makes it possible to optimize banks - Relieves the transformer. Remark:...

Rated insulation level The combination of voltage values that characterizes the insulation of the equipment with regard to its capability to withstand dielectric stresses. These values are selected based on the rated voltage of the bank/system. Standard insulation values are given for altitudes <1000 m above sea level. For higher altitudes, a correction factor must be used. Lightning impulse te...

What's the Definition of Power Factor? Power Factor Definition: Power factor(PF for short) is the ratio between KW and KVA drawn by an electrical load where the KW is the actual load power and the KVA is the apparent load power. It is a measure of how effectively the current is being converted into useful work output and more particularly is a good indicator of the effect of the load current on th...

Single busbar compensation Overview An installation with a single LV busbar is that most often encountered. This type of installation requires that the reactive power can change with respect to the methods defined previously. Compensation uses all the receiving devices of the installation and the amperage of the current transformer is determined according to the total current conducted through the...

Method for determining compensation (Power Factor correction Guidelines) Step 1 Selection of the compensation mode The location of L.V capacitors banks in an installation constitutes the mode of reactive power compensation, which may be central (one location for the entire installation), by sector or group (section-by-section), at load level, or some combination of the latter two. In principle, th...

Reactive power is necessary to generate magnetic fields, e.g. in motors, transformers and generators. This power oscillates between the source and the load and represents an additional loading. Static var Compensator (SVC) and static var generator can suppress the voltage fluctuation, flicker and rapidly compensate the reactive power and the quality of electric power can be improved. If you have q...

Part 1:Principle of reactive energy management All AC electrical networks consume two types of power: active power (kW) and reactive power (kVAr): The active power P (in kW) is the real power transmitted to loads such as motors,lamps, heaters, computers, etc. The electrical active power is transformed into mechanical power, heat or light. The reactive power Q (in kVAr) is used only to power the ma...

Centralised compensation Centralised compensation by means of an automatic capacitor bank with automatic regulation offers the most simple and economical solution. The reactive power is subdivided in a number of capacitor steps that can be connected independently. A reactive power controller continuously measures the needs of the installation and connects or disconnects the capacitors until the ta...

Power Factor Correction The active power produced by the active current can alone be turned into an effective use for the consumer; while the reactive power produced by the reactive current does not yield usable power, and consequently, is not registered on the active performance meter. The reactive power has, however, a negative effect on generators, transformers, and conductor lines, while causi...
