FAQs
The 4500MV3AI38FGMW is designed for 13.8 kV class operation at 60 Hz and comes with a large footprint (106 in L × 99 in H × 65 in W) and a 10,000 lb weight, which informs room layout, mounting, and clearances. Ensure adequate crane access for installation, compatible switchgear, and clearances for service access. CSA certification supports Canadian site compliance during deployment.
A 4500 kVAR capacitor bank provides substantial reactive power compensation, improving voltage regulation and reducing line losses in MV feeders. At 13.8 kV and 60 Hz, it supports heavy motor loads and peak demand scenarios, delivering improved power factor and reduced utility charges while maintaining stable voltage for critical equipment.
Yes. The 4500MV3AI38FGMW is suited for utilities, data centers, and heavy industrial facilities that require robust VAR support at 13.8 kV. Its 15 kV class standard design offers compatibility with high-voltage interconnections, while the 4500 kVAR rating provides strong reactive power support for stable operations and energy efficiency in demanding environments.
The product is CSA Certified (Canada Only), which helps satisfy Canadian regulatory and safety requirements during procurement, installation, and commissioning. For Canadian projects, CSA certification can streamline approvals and reduce risk associated with compliance, labeling, and field servicing in accordance with local standards.
Maintenance focuses on regular inspection of bus connections, enclosure integrity, and protective relays associated with MV capacitor banks. The unfiltered design minimizes mechanical complexity, potentially reducing maintenance frequency. The large kVAR capacity and durable construction contribute to a favorable ROI through improved grid stability, lower energy losses, and deferred capital expenditures on additional reactive power assets.
