Capacitor Bank

A capacitor bank consists of multiple capacitors connected to achieve a desired capacitance and voltage rating. They can be housed in a single enclosure or mounted on a rack, and come in configurations like fixed, automatic, and switched, tailored to specific power system needs.

Key Features:

  • Power Factor Correction:
    • Improves power factor by compensating for inductive loads, leading to more efficient power usage and reduced demand charges.
  • Voltage Stabilization:
    • Maintains consistent voltage levels by supplying reactive power, preventing voltage drops and enhancing network stability.
  • Energy Storage:
    • Stores and releases electrical energy quickly to respond to voltage fluctuations and transient events, ensuring reliable power supply.
  • Harmonic Filtering:
    • Mitigates harmonic distortion from non-linear loads, improving power quality and protecting sensitive equipment.
  • Load Balancing:
    • Balances load across phases in three-phase systems, ensuring uniform power distribution and reducing phase stress.
  • Reduced Energy Losses:
    • Minimizes energy losses by improving power factor and reducing reactive power flow, increasing overall efficiency.
  • Scalability and Flexibility:
    • Easily scaled by adding/removing capacitors, with configurations for manual or automatic operation to meet changing demands.
  • Protection and Monitoring:
    • Includes protection mechanisms (overvoltage/overcurrent) and monitoring systems to track performance and detect faults.
  • Compact Design:
    • Designed to be space-efficient, suitable for installations with limited space.
  • Cost-Effective:
    • Provides a cost-effective solution for improving power quality and efficiency, reducing the need for expensive infrastructure upgrades.
