Power Factor Correction
and Improvement
The Solution
Medium Voltage Capacitor Banks
Power factor correction capacitors supply the reactive power
(kVAR) required by inductive loads. By correcting poor power
factor ratings, they reduce kVA demand, thus off-loading
transformers and switchgear. Thi s results in lower utility power
bills, cooler equipment operation, and longer equipment life.
Our capacitor banks provide a flexible and effective power
factor compensation system in medium-voltage networks,
providing you with the benefits of a centralized solution at an
attractive cost.
The benefits
• Lower utility bills
• Improve energy efficiency
• Improve equipment andpowerreliability
• Minimize downtime
• Longer equipment life
• Improve system capacity
• Process control
• Energy savings

Power Factor Correction and Improvement
The Solution
Medium Voltage Power Factor Correction and Harmonic Filtering Capacitor Systems
Enclosed Medium Voltage Capacitor Systems provide power factor correction, harmonic filtering,
and voltage regulation. They typically require lower initial capital expenditures than low-voltage
solutions while addressing most common power quality problems. Medium-voltage metal enclosed
compensation systems offer a centralized solution with attractive installation options and support
the scale of large electrical services. Custom-engineered designs with a variety of standard or
custom options are available to suit project-specific application and installation requirements.
Medium Voltage Fixed Capacitor Banks
Ideally suited for power factor correction in applications where the load requires a fixed amount of
reactive compensation. Best suited for power factor correction of FV N R induction motors.
Medium Voltage Metal-enclosed Automatic Power Factor CorrectionBanks
Suited for centralized power factor correction in applications where plant load fluctuates resulting in
the need for varying amounts of reactive power. By correcting poor power factor ratings, capacitors
reduce kVA demand, off-loading transformers, switchgear, and other equipment. The reduced kVA
demand results in lower utility bills, cooler equipment operation, and longer equipment life.
The benefits
• Reduce utility bills
• Improve energy efficiency
• Improve equipment and power reliability
• Minimize downtime
• Extend equipment life
• Improve system capacity
• Improve product and process quality
