High-capacity 2700 kVAR reactive power bank rated for 13.8 kV at 60 Hz provides immediate VAR compensation. This translates to improved voltage profiles, reduced voltage sags, and lower power-factor penalties across feeders feeding motors and induction loads. Ideal for large industrial facilities such as steel plants, paper mills, and data centers where consistent MV voltage regulation is critical. Unfiltered capacitor design simplifies installation and maintenance, delivering predictable behavior in standard environments. By avoiding complex filtering networks, the system reduces installation time and minimizes maintenance intervals, while still delivering substantial energy savings through PF correction. For installations with sensitive harmonics, plan for downstream detuning filters or a dedicated harmonic mitigation strategy. CSA Certified (Canada Only) certification provides regulatory alignment for Canadian projects, easing procurement and commissioning. The unit is designed to operate at 60 Hz and 13.8 kV, aligning with common utility and industrial distribution schemes. This certification helps ensure compliance with local electrical safety standards during inspection and startup. Rugged enclosure addresses the practical realities of industrial environments with a 10,000 lb footprint and 106 in long, 99 in tall, 65 in wide dimensions. The robust cabinet supports retrofit into existing MV rooms or new installations, while the heavy assembly offers stable operation and safer handling during installation. Compatibility with standard Eaton control interfaces and MV switchgear simplifies integration and reduces commissioning risk. The modular design supports future expansion to higher kVAR if loads grow, allowing procurement teams to consolidate orders and streamline field engineering. In practice, this means faster project timelines and lower total cost of ownership. With pre-wired connections and clear labeling, the unit reduces field engineering hours during startup and commissioning. This translates to shorter project timelines and faster time-to-value for capital projects. The result is a more predictable procurement path and a clear upgrade path for facilities planning.

FAQs
The 2700MV3AI38FGMW is designed for 13.8 kV, 60 Hz operation and should be installed in compliance with local electrical codes. Ensure adequate ventilation, clearance for the 10,000 lb cabinet, and integration with compatible Eaton control interfaces and MV switchgear. Verify clearance for service access and follow standard commissioning procedures to validate protective relays and protection coordination.
A 2700 kVAR capacity provides substantial reactive power correction, which improves the facility power factor toward unity. This reduces utility penalties, lowers overall energy costs, and stabilizes voltage during motor start-ups and peak load periods. For best results, coordinate with existing capacitor banks and conduct a harmonics assessment if dense harmonic loads are present.
Yes, the unit supports large MV feeders common in data centers and industrial spaces. However, for harmonics-sensitive environments, plan downstream filtering or detuning strategies to mitigate potential harmonic interactions. The unfiltered design favors straightforward installation and reliability, with consideration given to site-specific harmonic profiles.
The unit carries CSA Certified (Canada Only) certification, which supports regulatory compliance for Canadian installations. This certification facilitates acceptance by local authorities and reduces risk during inspection and startup. If operating outside Canada, verify local regulatory requirements or seek additional certifications as needed.
Procurement benefits include a single, CSA-certified, pre-assembled MV capacitor bank that reduces integration time and field engineering hours. The 2700 kVAR rating supports scalable power factor correction, potentially lowering energy costs and penalties. The rugged enclosure and compatibility with Eaton controls contribute to faster deployment, predictable maintenance, and a clearer upgrade path for growing facilities.
