Feature → Business Impact → Application: The LV Unipak three-phase capacitor bank delivers 550 kVAR at 2400 V, enabling substantial power-factor correction and reduced kVA demand, which translates to lower utility charges for motor-heavy facilities and processing plants. This directly supports manufacturing uptime and energy-cost reductions in production lines and pump systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fixed three-fuse protection provides robust fault isolation and safety, minimizing field wiring complexity and maintenance downtime. This suits switchgear panels and control rooms where reliability and quick service are critical for uptime and safety compliance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact footprint and measured weight (20.42 in L × 20.26 in W × 41.94 in H; 238 lb) simplify enclosure planning and retrofit projects in space-constrained facilities, including data centers and OEM automation rooms. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Clear cataloging and traceability (Catalog 550243MVF3C, UPC 786685235639) streamline procurement, stocking, and service parts, reducing lead times for backup units and replacements. Feature → Business Impact → Application: CSA certification signals safety and reliability for regulated environments, while familiar LV Unipak design supports easy integration with existing distribution networks and protection schemes, mitigating risk during expansion.
