>> Automatic switching -on of the
capacitor bank whenever the load current exceeds a re-set
value. The setting of load current is adjustable upto 150
amps, continuously. An on time delay of 5 minutes is provided
each time the capacitor is required to be connected. The capacitor
bank is automatically disconnected if the line current is
reduced below a specified level.
>> Automatic switching off the capacitor
bank whenever the control voltage is beyond the minimum and
maximum limits. ie 240
volts -15 % to 10%.
In the event of line current exceeding a
certain specified limit, the CT mounted on Y phase operates
through the control unit and closing command is given to the
closing solenoid which closes the interrupter, thereby connecting
the capacitor bank in the circuit and thus improving the power
factor. When line current is reduced , to a specified value
control, unit gives a tripping command to the trip coil thereby
disconnecting the capacitor bank. The power to the closing
solenoid and tripping coil is also taken from the control
transformer secondary.
