Standard Automatic systems

Electroserv produce a range of standard Power Factor Correction systems for power systems with low and/or high levels of harmonics from 25 kVAr to 1200 kVAr. Systems are designed to accept rejection coils (to reject ripple control frequencies) and, where unacceptable levels of harmonics exist, de-tuning reactors. Separate compartments in the cubicle are provided for capacitors to give thermal separation from heat generating components such as detuning reactors.

Electroserv standard designs meet most commonly requested specifications. If in doubt, please contact us.

For systems between 175 and 300kVAr the cubicle size is 1875mm (high) x 600mm (wide) x 450mm (deep). In This Design, Capacitors are separated from the heat generating reactors and protection equipment in a separately ventilated cubicle; this ensures capacitors are never heat stressed even if the forced ventilation fails.  The digital power factor controller has over temperature protection and alarming to give further backup, in the event of over temperature (55°C) the steps are progressively switched off and alarm raised.

Systems over 300kVAr are available in cubicles 2,000mm (high) and systems over 400kVAr the width doubles to 1800mm. Special circumstances can be accommodated using combinations of our standard range.

Strict testing and quality procedures are adhered to with all designs, standard or special.
