Summary: Controllix Corporation transitioned a coastal utility from using open rack style capacitor banks to their advanced metal-enclosed capacitor banks. This change notably improve...
Medium Voltage Capacitor Banks – Fixed
When bulk power factor improvement is needed and there are no concerns regarding high ambient temperatures or harmonics, fixed capacitor banks are ideal. Without switching or extensive monitoring features that are typically found on automatic banks, cost and lead time are kept to a minimum. This rapid response, combined with [...]
Medium Voltage Capacitor Banks: Multi-Step
Controllix Medium Voltage Multi-Step Capacitor Banks provide accurate control of power factor from light load conditions through heavy load conditions. Banks feature a standardized design that is easily equipped with additional stages for future load growth. Banks come fully assembled and ready for interconnection. Equipment is fully compliant with the [...]
Medium Voltage Pad-Mounted Capacitor Banks
Controllix offers custom-designed pad-mounted capacitor banks for power factor correction and voltage support of 5kV, 15kV, 25kV and 35kV load circuits. Banks can be provided with capacitor cells rated up to 600kVAr with up to three capacitor units per phase. Capacitor cells, capacitor switches, controls, fuses and current limiting reactors [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
