FAQs
Plan for a wall-mounted installation within a compliant enclosure rated for 600 V service. Ensure adequate clearance for cooling and inspection, proper wiring to the 144 A bus, and secure mounting to support weight (approximately 240 lb). Verify panel compatibility with a 60 Hz system and follow UL 508A wiring practices. Pre-check peaking loads to optimize kVAR sizing and avoid over/under-correction in the initial commissioning.
This unit delivers 150 kVAR of reactive power at 600 V, three-phase, 60 Hz. By supplying reactive current locally, it raises the overall power factor toward unity, reducing VAR flow from the grid, lowering energy losses, and decreasing utility penalties. Correct sizing and staged cross-tiring with your load profile ensure stable PF improvements during peak and off-peak periods.
Yes. The 150 kVAR LV AutoVAR is well-suited for motor-driven processes common in metals, automotive, and general manufacturing, as well as processing environments where consistent PF correction improves motor efficiency and minimizes heat. The wall-mounted design supports integration into existing switchgear, helping retrofit projects in facilities with space constraints and strict safety requirements.
It meets IEEE Std. 18, CSA Std. C22.2 No. 190, UL 508A, and UL 810. Certification assures electrical safety, conductor protection, and electrical equipment reliability, which is essential for ongoing plant safety audits, insurance compliance, and long-term maintenance planning in industrial facilities.
Expect routine inspections on capacitor cells, with a 5-year life expectancy on cells and a 1-year base warranty. ROI comes from reduced energy costs and demand charges, improved voltage stability, and extended equipment life. For asset-intensive operations, plan a quarterly health review and a yearly PF audit to maximize uptime and financial returns.
