Match the equipment to the load

Application groups

• Industrial manufacturing

  Motor-driven, welding and drive-heavy plants with changing load and harmonic content.

  Typical challenge

  Load swings and non-linear equipment lower power factor and distort current.

  Approach

  Combine a controller, switching devices and detuned capacitor branches, or use SVG where load changes quickly.

  Series to consider

  • Reactive Power Compensation Controllers
  • Thyristor Switches and Regulators
  • SVG Static Var Generators

• Commercial and public buildings

  Distribution boards serving lighting, HVAC, lifts and electronics.

  Typical challenge

  Mixed inductive and electronic loads vary through the day and add harmonic current.

  Approach

  Low-voltage compensation cabinets with filter reactors keep the capacitor bank stable on a harmonic-rich supply.

  Series to consider

  • Low-Voltage Compensation Cabinets
  • Compensation and Filter Reactors
  • Compensation and Filter Capacitors

• Substations and distribution rooms

  Medium and low-voltage distribution points where compensation is installed centrally.

  Typical challenge

  Central compensation has to match transformer size, voltage level and site conditions.

  Approach

  Select low-voltage or high-voltage compensation cabinets and filter modules for the installation format.

  Series to consider

  • High-Voltage Compensation Cabinets
  • Low-Voltage Compensation Cabinets
  • Compensation Filter Modules

• Renewable energy grid connection

  Connection points where reactive power and harmonics need to be managed on the network side.

  Typical challenge

  Output varies with weather, and converters add harmonic current at the connection point.

  Approach

  SVG and active harmonic filters respond dynamically; the exact configuration depends on grid requirements.

  Series to consider

  • SVG Static Var Generators
  • Active Harmonic Filters
