There are a series of elements and materials, as in the case of LV equipment, for its HV operation that must accompany our HV capacitors for their correct operation and for that of our installation\/network, as well as the rest of the equipment that compose it and that are in parallel operation with the capacitors that we want to put into service for the correction of the power factor (compensation of the consumption of Reactive Energy).<\/p>\n

The choice of one type of equipment or another, as well as its configuration, will depend not only on the final cost of the equipment, but will also be marked by the mains voltage, as well as the loading regime of our installation.<\/p>\n<\/div>

There are two types of banks, depending upon the mode of connection. First is 3 phase single star connected, which is suitable, where voltage is preferably low, say up to 6,6 kV. Other is 3 phase double star connected bank assembled with minimum 6 Nos of single phase units, preferably for systems where voltage is higher, say 11 kV and above.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Direct three-phase connection.<\/h3>\n

They are formed by the connection of 1 to 4 three-phase capacitors in parallel. The internal connection of the three-phase capacitor of all the “elements” of which it is composed is in the form of a star.<\/span><\/p>\n

The batteries may consist of the following components (depending on the characteristics of the installation):<\/span><\/p>\n
