Low Voltage Panel (TREVOLT by Galleon)
Capacitor Bank Panel
Description
A Capacitor Bank Panel is an electrical panel containing a set of capacitor units connected in parallel and managed by an automatic control system (Power Factor Regulator). The panel is installed in low-voltage electrical networks to improve the power factor (Cos φ) by supplying reactive power (kVAR) locally within the system.
Main Functions of a Capacitor Bank Panel
- Improving the Power Factor (Cos φ)
- Eliminating PLN kVARh Penalties
- Reducing the Current Load (Total Amperes)
- Preventing Voltage Drop
- Reducing Heat and Electrical Power Loss
Advantages of a Capacitor Bank Panel
- Lower Operating Costs
- Savings on Transformer and Cable Capacity
- Automatic and Measured Operation
- Longer Service Life for Electrical Equipment
