Eaton 437MV1AI38FGMW MV AutoVAR - CSA Certified
Part Number: 437MV1AI38FGMW
Quick Summary
Eaton MV AutoVAR filtered capacitor bank provides reactive power compensation for medium-voltage power systems. When voltage fluctuations threaten equipment performance, the unit stabilizes voltage and reduces energy losses across motors and transformers. The design carries CSA certification for Canada and IEEE Std. 18 compliance, with a 15 kV class rating and 60 Hz operation. Engineered for 13.8 kV networks and substations, it delivers 437 kVAR of reactive capacity with a 4.2 H detuned filter to mitigate harmonics. This combination improves power factor, lowers utility penalties, and reduces routine maintenance by integrating with existing MV switchgear.

437 kVAR rating enables substantial reactive power compensation, improving voltage stability and reducing transformer loading in mid-voltage networks. In real-world industrial facilities, this translates to lower energy costs, better motor efficiency, and reduced equipment wear due to more stable voltage conditions. The 13.8 kV system compatibility allows seamless integration with common MV switchgear, enabling scalable deployment in expansions or retrofits. The 15 kV class standard design supports a wide range of installations, ensuring consistent performance across different substation configurations and ensuring regulatory alignment. The 4.2 H detuned filter mitigates harmonic resonance, improving power quality and reducing stray currents that can affect switchgear and grounding schemes. CSA and IEEE Std. 18 certifications provide documented safety and performance confidence for North American operations. The robust, purpose-built enclosure supports long service life in demanding environments and minimizes maintenance cycles, lowering total cost of ownership over time. Compatibility with existing protective relays and control schemes simplifies commissioning and reduces downtime during installation.
