FAQs
For 2400V three-phase applications, plan for integration with existing switchgear and verify clearance for a 20.42 in L, 26.68 in W, 41.94 in H footprint. Ensure proper fuse access and clearances around the enclosure. Since the unit is a fixed-bank design with three fuses, confirm panel mounting options and surrounding electrical room ventilation to maintain thermal performance and reliability.
Expect significant reactive power compensation at 700 kVAR, which improves power factor, reduces line current, and lowers utility penalties. In typical motor and HVAC-heavy loads, PF correction translates to reduced transformer losses and improved voltage regulation. The 2400V rating makes it suitable for medium-to-large industrial and commercial feeders with three-phase distribution.
Yes. The unit’s three-phase, 2400V design, 700 kVAR rating, and fixed-fuse configuration support data center cooling loads and motor-driven equipment, where stable voltage and improved PF are critical for reliability and energy costs. CSA/IEEE 18 compliance further supports IT and critical infrastructure installations that require strict standards adherence.
CSA Certification indicates conformity with Canadian safety and performance standards, simplifying approval from local authorities and utilities. IEEE Std. 18 provides established guidelines for capacitor banks, ensuring reliability and safe operation. Together, these certifications reduce project risk and accelerate procurement, especially on cross-border or multinational deployments.
Maintenance needs are typically limited to routine fuse inspection and enclosure checks given the fixed-bank design; the three-fuse arrangement facilitates targeted field servicing. ROI is driven by reduced utility charges from improved PF, lower transformer losses, and diminished motor stress—benefits that accumulate over the equipment’s life in medium-to-large facilities.
