Medium voltage metal enclosed capacitor banks and harmonic filters
Built to improve performance and efficiency
of electrical systems
Powerside medium-voltage metal-enclosed power capacitor banks are cost-effective, flexible, predictable, and easy to maintain. Our capacitor banks are custom built to customer requirements and are shipped factory tested, assembled, and ready for interconnection. Enclosures contain all switching, protection, safety features, and control. When compared to an “open-rack” capacitor bank, they save you money as they are easier and faster to install, commission, maintain, and take up less space.
Powerside medium-voltage metal-enclosed harmonic filter banks are designed for medium voltage power factor correction, voltage support, mitigation from harmonic distortion and prevention from risks of resonance. The harmonic filter banks are configurable as fixed or automatic with 1 or more stages at nominal voltages from 2.4kV to 35kV. Available filter types include C-type, High-Pass, detuned, single-tuned, and multi-tuned.
Features
- Indoor or outdoor environment, and made with cold-rolled, galvanized or stainless steel
- Low voltage protection and control equipment in a separate and easily accessible compartment
- Medium voltage incoming section and stages in separate compartments for ease of access and maintenance
- Programmed to provide the site-specific needs for power factor, harmonic and voltage mitigation
- Smart Control Interface (SCI+) allows for easy control with complete status of the bank, history of events, locally via the HMI or remotely with multiple, password-protected levels of access
- Factory pre-assembled, tested and ready for fast installation and interconnection
Benefits
- Improve the voltage profile and power factor
- Reduce the apparent current and system loses
- Increases the lifetime of transformers, motors and others by eliminating harmonic currents
- Free up the power capacity of the facility
- Arc protection for safety of personnel and operation
- Provide reactive energy required by inductive loads
- Avoid penalties due to poor power factor
- Reduces GHG emissions
