PowerMCap Series-1

P#WE RSIDE All niirenprgy, n your prm-flr 4 Medium voltage large industrial grade capacitor and filter banks for fixed compensation PowerMCap is a series of metal enclosed, filtered and non-filtered fixed capacitor banks, designed to operate at nominal voltage of 2.4 - 38kV. The outdoor rated capacitor and filter banks are pre-assembled and interconnected inside a compartmentalized enclosure. They are fully factory tested and ready for a simple and rapid installation and interconnection at the site. All protection and control are provided in separated and isolated compartiments. These compartiments along with the capacitor and filter sections can be engineered with multiple configurations and options to meet specific application requirements and standards, including basic insulation levels (BIL) tests. The PowerMCap provides power factor compensation and harmonic mitigation under two different operating conditions: • PowerMCap PFC Low harmonics, fixed compensation • PowerMCap Filter High harmonics, fixed compensation • Comprehensive and flexible control and monitoring capabilities • Complete safety protections (kirk key, self discharge, and more) • Delivered fully tested and ready for interconnection • CSA certified • Low maintenance costs
