FAQs
The 550483MVF3 is a three-phase UNIVAR XV fixed capacitor bank designed for 4,800 V networks. It features universal floor-mounting flanges, top and side wiring entry, and a gasketed enclosure for weatherproof installation. With a 14-gauge steel body and baked-on enamel finish, it installs quickly in retrofit or new builds and aligns with standard industrial mounting footprints to minimize field modifications.
Expect substantial power factor corrections that reduce reactive kVAR penalties and energy losses. The 550 kVAR rating supports large motor loads and compressor banks common in manufacturing and processing facilities. With three-fuse protection, the unit also helps manage fault currents, supporting stable voltage profiles and improved overall drive efficiency in 4800 V systems.
Yes. The enclosure is weatherproof and dustproof, with gasketed sealing that enables indoor/outdoor operation. The NEMA 1, 3R, and 12 enclosure options, along with the baked-on enamel finish, provide durable protection against environmental factors, making it appropriate for exterior installations at manufacturing sites, substations, or remote facilities.
The unit is CSA Certified (Canada Only) and compliant with IEEE Std. 18. These certifications ensure alignment with regional electrical safety standards and capacitor bank performance guidelines, supporting regulatory compliance for industrial power factor correction deployments and safety audits.
Maintenance is streamlined by features like the viewing window, removable front cover, and top/side entry that simplify inspections and servicing. The one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment, whichever comes first) adds confidence in performance. ROI improves through energy-cost reductions, lower reactive penalties, and reduced downtime from a robust, service-friendly design.
