Description

PTG1439-405 Power Factor Control Module (PFC) can minimise the currents caused by reactive losses of power thereby optimising the transfer of energy between generation and loading.

This is becoming more and more important today when “Saving energy” is vital in a world with focus on pollution and shortage of energy.

Field of application

Inductive or mixed inductive and resistive networks in need of compensation, for example when starting and running induction motors as in industrial applications.

Principles of operation

Depending on the power factor of the loading network a microprocessor will connect groups of capacitors.

By measuring phase voltages and current the microprocessor will calculate how many capacitive groups that has to be connected and also in which combinations.

Electrical details

Number of 3-ph groups

6

Power factor setting

0.7 inductive to 0.7 capacitive

Nominal voltage

3 x 400 V 50 – 60 Hz

Linear and circular

Indication lamps:

Indication lamps for the capacitor groups which are connected

Physical design

The Power Factor Control Unit is housed in a sturdy apparatus box with a clear mimic diagram explaining how to connect the supplying net from the left to the right side where the network in need for power factor compensation is connected.

Readings, parameters and sub parameters are indicated on the front of the controller. Other settings and programming than the defaults are simply performed from the keyboard and displayed on the controller front.
