Static Contactors
Designed for rapid switching of capacitors in LV-grids, featuring smooth disconnecting and no inrush current, suitable for choked and unchoked capacitor banks.

Fuses and Fuse Switch-Disconnectors
Details PHN fuse-links with blade contacts, suitable for applications with rated voltage 690V a.c., offering high breaking capacity and low power losses. Fuse switch-disconnectors are designed for safe disconnection and can be mounted directly on panels or busbars.
Fuse Switch-Disconnectors:
Designed for electrical connections up to 250 A, available in 1-pole and 3-pole designs, with options for fuse state signaling and light indication. Power losses range from 1.100 W to 2.700 W, and all models weigh 1 kg. Bottom connection is possible without affecting electrical parameters, but the device must be marked accordingly.
Capacitor Switching Contactors:
Used with reactive or non-reactive capacitor banks, designed to handle transient currents up to 200 times the rated current. They feature early make contacts and damping resistors to reduce inrush current spikes, preventing contact welding and protecting capacitors. Suitable for low-inductive and low-loss capacitors, complying with IEC and VDE standards, available in various models with different operational power ratings and coil voltages.
Technical Specifications:
Provides detailed technical data for capacitor switching contactors, including rated operational current, overload factors, and fuse requirements. Includes mounting instructions, emphasizing the use of flame-retardant materials due to potential high temperatures.

Filter reactors DIN VDE 0550/0532 for general applications Application Harmonics generated by non-linear loads such as variable speed drives or other static power conversion equipment have grown rapidly in recent years. Harmonic currents and the voltage distortion, created by these currents have devastating effects on power supply and distribution systems and its connected loads. This can result in failure of power factor correction capacitors due to overloading, system resonance, overheating of cables and transformers as well as misoperation of PLC’s, computer and other sensitive appliances....

Power Factor Controller BLR-CX Edition2 Reactive power compensation panels are used to reduce load in the electrical grid and to save costs. This is the reason, that there are special requirements for the control units of these compensation panels, the reactive power regulator. The most important task for the reactive power regulator is to control the reliable termination of reactive power. This is reducing the costs for electrical energy. Cables, transformers, switch components and power distribution are unloaded by reduce reactive power. Another task of the reactive power regulator is monitoring...
