MV capacitor banks

Description

The capacitor banks must be equipped with detuned filters when there is a high level of harmonics.
In this case, CIRCUTOR recommends the use of automatic CMFR or CMAR capacitor banks, equipped with iron core REACTORS and synchronised capacitors, up to 7% of the insulation voltages of 7.2 kV.
For higher voltage levels, air core technology is used in these REACTOR

Applications

The most common applications are:
Medium Voltage industrial networks

• Compensation of large motors. Usually 3 to 11 kV
• Compensation of HV / MV transformers
• Fixed or automatic compensation of the following installations: cement plants, pumping stations, pipelines, mining, paper industry. 

• Receiving and distributing stations. Particularly indoor installations, where the use of space is vital
• Generation stations that need an automatic power factor regulation: small-scale hydraulic power plants, wind farms, etc
