Eaton 2625MV3AD38FGMW MV AutoVAR capacitor bank - 13.8kV

The 2625 kVAR rating at 13.8 kV provides substantial reactive-power capacity, delivering measurable business impact by improving power factor and reducing peak demand. In practice, MV feeders with motors and transformers operate with steadier voltages, translating to lower energy costs and less heat-related wear. This is ideal for metal processing, chemicals, and other heavy industries facing inductive loads. Detuned 4.2 H filters mitigate harmonic currents and protect transformers and switchgear from resonance. They contribute to higher reliability and lower maintenance costs in facilities with non-linear loads. For plants aiming to meet power-quality standards, the detuned filter delivers predictable performance across motor starts and pulsed loads. Physical footprint and installation requirements matter. The bank measures 106 in long by 99 in high and 65 in wide, weighing about 10,000 lb, which informs room planning and crane access during installation. Its compatibility with the Eaton AutoVAR family simplifies retrofits and ensures consistent control strategies across multiple MV feeders. CSA Canada certification and IEEE Std. 18 alignment address regulatory and commissioning expectations. This certification package supports secure procurement and safer field startup, reducing project risk when integrating with existing MV switchgear and protection schemes. Designed as part of a 15 kV class standard design, the unit integrates with common MV architectures and Eaton’s safety and service standards. The combination of high-kVAR capacity, robust filtering, and engineering support helps facilities achieve faster commissioning, reliable operation, and a clear path to ROI through energy savings and extended equipment life.
