FAQs
Plan for a wall-mounted installation in a 480V three-phase system. Ensure sufficient clearance, dedicated enclosure space, and access to wiring per code. Reference the UL 508A and UL 810 requirements and the included specification sheet for mounting guidelines and safety clearances.
The model ships with UL 508A, CSA Std. C22.2 No. 190, UL 810, and IEEE Std. 18 certifications. These approvals confirm electrical safety, performance reliability, and compatibility with common industrial standards, reducing risk during installation and operation.
It is a three-phase 480V switched capacitor bank rated at 225 kvar. This configuration supports reactive power compensation to improve power factor and stabilize voltage during peak demand.
AutoVAR automatically adjusts capacitor switching to maintain target PF as load varies, minimizing penalties from poor power factor and reducing energy charges while improving voltage stability across the facility.
Account for its wall-mount footprint (approximately 60 in tall, 36 in wide, 14 in depth) and a weight around 330 lb. Ensure proper ventilation, accessible wiring, and compliant conduit routing per UL 508A/UL 810 guidelines; verify compatibility with existing switchgear and control panels.
