Installation of 46kV Capacitor Bank:
A major New England utility installs capacitor banks at various substations to provide voltage support during normal and contingency operating conditions. In certain conditions at the particular substation, the voltage levels were unacceptable and it was determined that two (2) 46kV, 3600KVAR capacitor banks were required. Due to local permitting requirements, the existing fence line [...]
Mobile Capacitor Equipment
Controllix designs and builds mobile capacitors for medium and high-voltage systems. As one of the few manufacturers in the nation to offer this type of equipment, Controllix provides these transportable systems for site-to-site deployment for VAR support, emergency outage backup/temporary service such as sub-station construction. Since they help to reduce load burdens, mobile capacitors are [...]
Medium Voltage Rack-Mounted Capacitor Equipment (Custom Applications)
Open Rack Capacitor Banks are primarily large installations used to improve the power factor of an entire electrical network. They improve voltage stability and reduce network losses. Improving the power factor also means a higher power transmission capability and increased control of the power flow. Capacitors are installed in welded galvanized steel or aluminum racks. [...]
Medium Voltage Surge Protection Equipment
Transients, faults, power surges and lightning strikes can affect electrical distribution systems at any time. Such events can damage electrical systems as well as various apparatus used in a manufacturing process. Controllix offers the SurgePack, protective equipment that provides protection for motors, rotating machines and transformers that provides assurance of continuous operation of the equipment, the [...]
Medium Voltage Pole Mounted Capacitor Equipment
Pole Mounted Capacitor Banks provide power factor correction and voltage control on medium voltage industrial and utility electrical overhead systems. Banks are available in configurations rated up to 4500kVAr at voltages up to 35kV (grounded wye). "Polemounts" are available as a fixed or switched system depending on system profile. All wiring and bushing terminals can [...]
Medium Voltage Harmonic Filter Banks
Controllix Corporation Medium Voltage Harmonic Filter Banks reduces harmonic distortion, improves power factor, and increases system performance resulting in significant cost savings. Consisting of capacitors, reactors and resistors, harmonic filter banks provide a low impedance route out of the system for harmonics. The series capacitor/reactor combination prevents resonance by tuning the network below the first [...]
