The Eaton MV AutoVAR filtered capacitor bank delivers high‑voltage reactive power support for 13.8 kV networks. This translates to improved power factor, reduced utility penalties, and more stable voltage profiles across feeders. Ideal for substations and industrial facilities with heavy motor loads, it enables precise VAR management at scale. With a 1313 kVAR rating and 13.8 kV operation, it provides substantial reactive power capacity to meet peak demand. The result is lower transformer loading, better voltage regulation, and improved energy efficiency for manufacturing lines. This is particularly beneficial for facilities running large pumps, fans, or rolling mill motors. A 4.2H detuned filter helps suppress harmonic interaction with nearby equipment. That improves system reliability, reduces capacitor stress, and minimizes resonance risk in HV switchgear. Operators appreciate less maintenance downtime and longer capacitor bank life. IEEE Std. 18 compliance and CSA certification (Canada) support procurement and regulatory adherence. These certifications simplify regulatory audits and supplier qualification for multinational projects. Sites targeting North American markets gain confidence in safety and interoperability with Eaton MV solutions. The unit ships with a robust footprint—106 in long, 99 in high, and 65 in wide, weighing around 10,000 lb. Its modular enclosure and wiring access are designed for straightforward installation alongside existing MV equipment. Compatibility with Eaton MV systems supports faster commissioning and reduced project risk. Engineered for reliability in demanding HV environments, it reduces maintenance intervals and extends lifetime. Access to spare parts and service expertise from Eaton helps keep downtime minimal.
