Eaton 6300MV1AI38FGMW MV AutoVAR - CSA Certified
Part Number: 6300MV1AI38FGMW
Quick Summary
Eaton MV AutoVAR unfiltered capacitor bank provides robust reactive power support for 13.8 kV transmission and industrial distribution. Operators frequently battle voltage instability, excessive losses, and equipment insulation stress in high-voltage bus applications. CSA Certified (Canada Only) compliance underpins safety and regulatory alignment, while the 60 Hz, 13.8 kV rating supports North American networks. This alignment drives business value through reliable power factor correction, reduced losses, and easier procurement for large-scale MV deployments. With modular design options, it scales to growing capacity needs and simplifies retrofit projects. Engineers gain predictable performance, shorter project timelines, and a clear maintenance path when paired with Eaton's MV System portfolio.

High-kVAR capacity is the core feature, delivering 6300 kVAR at 13.8 kV with 60 Hz operation to stabilize voltage, reduce line losses, and improve overall power quality for heavy industries. This translates to lower transformer loading and extended equipment life in demanding applications like steel mills, chemical plants, and large pumping stations. The unfiltered capacitor bank design offers a cost-efficient solution where harmonic filtering is managed separately, enabling faster deployment and simpler integration with existing switchgear. The 15 kV class standard design provides a robust safety margin for MV networks, minimizing insulation concerns and enabling straightforward siting and enclosure planning. The sizable footprint (106 in L, 99 in H, 65 in W) and 10,000 lb weight inform site preparation, crane access, and long-term maintenance planning for reliable operation. CSA Certified (Canada Only) certification supports regulatory alignment and procurement confidence for Canadian projects. Compatibility with the Eaton MV AutoVAR family streamlines sourcing, spare parts, and service, reducing total cost of ownership and accelerating commissioning in new builds or revamps.

FAQs
The 6300MV1AI38FGMW is designed for 13.8 kV systems and pairs with standard MV switchgear and feeders used in North American facilities. Its unfiltered capacitor bank topology simplifies integration, while the CSA-certified design supports Canadian regulatory expectations. Plan for crane-accessible installation, appropriate clearances, and a dedicated service path to minimize commissioning risk and ensure safe, compliant operation.
The unit delivers 6300 kVAR at a 13,800 V rating with a 60 Hz frequency specification. This combination provides strong reactive power support, improving voltage stability under peak loading and contributing to better overall power factor in large facilities such as manufacturing plants and distribution centers.
Yes, for sites where harmonic filtering is handled separately or not required by the application. The unfiltered design offers a cost-effective, scalable solution for heavy MV networks. For facilities with significant harmonic content, plan to commission external filtering or harmonics mitigation as part of an integrated power quality strategy.
The unit carries CSA Certification (Canada Only), aligning with Canadian safety and regulatory requirements. Regional variation exists, so verify local standards and documentation before procurement. CSA certification helps streamline compliance and acceptance in Canadian markets and supports supplier selection for North American projects.
Expect a crane-assisted installation given the 10,000 lb weight and substantial footprint (106 in L x 99 in H x 65 in W). Plan for dedicated electrical connections, cooling/storage provisions, and periodic inspection of HV connections. Regular maintenance aims to preserve reliability, reduce unplanned downtime, and extend equipment lifespan while ensuring continued compliance with regional safety practices.
