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 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 can be included. Often used with underground distribution systems, “padmounts” provide a low profile along with low installation costs, typically within a 60-inch cube.
