FAQs
Prepare for a heavy substation-grade unit installation by planning crane access, adequate foundation support, and clearances to meet local codes. Ensure the foundation can bear roughly 10,000 lb and that ventilation and cable routing align with switchgear configurations. Coordinate with electrical engineers and Eaton installation guidelines to facilitate safe, compliant commissioning.
The unit provides 3600 kVAR reactive power at 13,800 V with a 60 Hz frequency rating. It is designed as an unfiltered capacitor bank, CSA Certified for Canada, and features dimensions of 106 in (L) × 99 in (H) × 65 in (W) with an approximate weight of 10,000 lb. These specs support substantial VAR support for large facilities.
Yes. With a 3600 kVAR rating at 13.8 kV, it’s well-suited for facilities with heavy motor loads and critical uptime requirements. Properly sized VAR compensation improves power factor, reduces transformer losses, and lowers demand charges. For data centers or manufacturing campuses, integrate with existing protection schemes and harmonics management strategies to optimize performance.
The primary certification is CSA Certified (Canada Only), which confirms safety and regulatory compliance for Canadian deployments. This certification helps streamline procurement and approval processes in Canadian utility and industry projects. Always cross-check local electrical codes and project specifications to ensure alignment with any additional regional standards.
Eaton provides product documentation, installation guidance, and policy support such as the Selling Policy 25-000 for distribution and control products. ROI stems from improved power factor, reduced kVA demand, and extended equipment life due to stabilized voltage. For large deployments, consider lifecycle maintenance planning and site-specific commissioning to maximize energy savings.
