StacoVAR® Motor Load (ML) Fixed Capacitor Assemblies Power Factor Correction
|
The StacoVAR PH Motor Load (ML) Fixed Capacitor is available from 2.5 kVAr to 400kVAR in economical, fixed motor load type capacitor assemblies. Each unit is offered for rugged industrial indoor or outdoor use and includes fusing and blown fuse indicator lights. The standard off the shelf capacitors provide a wide selection voltage range for 240, 480 and 600VAC electrical systems.
Capacitors are single-phase, metalized polypropylene, which are self-healing to prevent permanent dielectric breakdown. Each capacitor is designed for long life, for operation over a wide temperature range and is contained in an aluminum case. Pressure sensitive circuit interruption is incorporated within the capacitor to safely remove the unit from service under heavy fault conditions, while maintaining case integrity. External discharge resistors allow voltage to be reduced to 50 volts or less in one minute. Resistors are sized for long life and continuous operation, at maximum rated temperature. The StacoVAR ML capacitors are housed in a rugged 3R metal enclosure (NEMA 12 and 4X available), powder coated ANSI 61 gray paint. All units include terminal type power line connection and allow for quick, simple installation. Capacitor assemblies can be mounted either vertically or horizontally, helping to meet a variety of applications. These capacitor assemblies are ideal for improving power factor where induction motors are located, as well as for multiple, small kVAr requirements. For larger kVAr applications, automatically switched capacitor banks or harmonic mitigation units are available. |

Reactive Power Compensation, or power factor correction, can lower your utility bills starting on the day the equipment is installed. Installation is fast and easy, minimizing downtime. After the equipment is installed, you should notice an immediate improvement in power factor, more efficient use of your power system’s load, and of course, monthly savings in your electric utility bills.
Staco Energy Products Co.’s harmonic mitigation filters will perform mitigation for a wide array of needs. This includes equipment to help reduce amplification of harmonics when capacitors are automatically switched, to suppress one or more specific harmonic orders, and to lessen a broad range of multiple harmonic orders. |
