1350 kVAR of reactive power capacity enables targeted VAR support for large loads, reducing utility penalties and improving voltage profiles. The business impact is lower energy losses and better power factor across critical feeders, translating to cost savings and more reliable equipment performance. This solution is well-suited for utility-scale substations and industrial facilities with high MV demand, where precise VAR control stabilizes motors, transformers, and line voltage during load swings. 13800 V rating ensures direct compatibility with 13.8 kV MV networks, streamlining switchgear integration and minimizing install time. By aligning with established protection schemes, it reduces project risk and accelerates commissioning in new or retrofit installations. It also supports direct bus connections with standard MV bus bars and disconnects, simplifying commissioning. 60 Hz operation matches standard North American power systems, enabling predictable behavior with common relays and protective devices. This makes integration with existing plant controls straightforward and reduces the need for bespoke configuration. This simplifies lifecycle management as facilities expand or reconfigure their MV networks. Unfiltered design means capacitor banks can interact with harmonic currents if not properly managed, making harmonic filtering or monitoring essential in some applications. Eaton’s approach supports integration with compatible filters and protections to control resonance and maintain system stability. With dimensions of 106 in long, 99 in high, and 65 in wide and a 10,000 lb weight, installation planning and logistics are a consideration. The footprint fits standard MV switchgear environments, but requires appropriate foundations, rigging, and clearances to ensure safe assembly and serviceability. Engaging a qualified crane and rigging service early reduces risk and keeps project schedules on track. CSA Certified (Canada Only) provides regulatory assurance for Canadian projects and procurement teams evaluating electrical equipment for utility or industrial use. The certification, combined with the product’s 60 Hz and 13.8 kV ratings, supports compliance during audits and reduces qualification time in RFPs. Additionally, access to Eaton's technical support and field service helps ensure long-term performance and fast issue resolution.

FAQs
Installations for the Eaton MV AutoVAR unfiltered capacitor bank require careful planning of space, foundations, and rigging due to its size and weight. The unit measures 106 in long by 99 in high by 65 in wide and weighs about 10,000 lb, so provide ample staging, accessible mounting points, and safe clearances around connection cabinets. Plan for bus connections and protective device coordination during commissioning.
Key performance specifications to verify include a 1350 kVAR kVA rating, 13,800 V voltage rating, and a 60 Hz frequency rating. The unit’s dimensions (106 in x 99 in x 65 in) and 10,000 lb weight affect install scope, foundations, and crane requirements. Understanding these values helps align the capacitor bank with your MV network and protection schemes.
Suitable applications span utility-scale reactive power compensation and industrial facilities with substantial MV demand. The 13.8 kV, 60 Hz rating supports direct integration with existing feeders, transformers, and switchgear, while the 1350 kVAR rating provides scalable VAR support during load swings. For best results, pair with appropriate harmonic management and control systems.
Certification is CSA Certified (Canada Only), which confirms compliance with Canadian electrical standards for MV capacitor banks. This is important for procurement and audits in Canadian projects and helps satisfy regulatory requirements when bidding on utility or industrial deployments. If your program requires additional certifications, verify compatibility with local codes and integration with protective relays.
From a business perspective, the ROI comes from improved power factor, reduced losses, and greater system reliability. Eaton provides technical support and field service to help with commissioning and ongoing maintenance, while the unfiltered design requires proper harmonic protection and periodic inspections. Plan for lifecycle support to minimize downtime and ensure long-term performance.
