FAQs
The 800243MVF3 is designed for straightforward retrofit alongside standard Eaton LV switchgear. It uses a three-phase 2400V configuration with a fixed 3-fuse arrangement and a compact footprint suitable for common electrical rooms. The enclosure supports standard mounting patterns, and documented dimensions assist space planning, wiring routes, and a swift upgrade with minimal site disruption.
Key specifications include 800 kVAR reactive power at 2400V in a three-phase arrangement, fixed fuse protection, and CSA/IEEE Std. 18 compliance. The bank is engineered for reliable operation under industrial loads, offering predictable capacitor response and balanced phase performance. It integrates with existing feeders and delivers stable power-factor correction across motor starts and fluctuating loads.
Yes, for facilities with significant motor loads and reactive power demand, such as manufacturing, metalworking, and process industries. The 800243MVF3 improves power factor, reduces energy charges, and helps meet utility or regulatory requirements. Ensure system voltage compatibility (2400V) and plan for space, cooling, and fuse maintenance in the installation area.
The capacitor bank carries CSA Certification (Canada Only) and IEEE Std. 18 compliance, reflecting adherence to electrical safety and performance standards. These certifications support regulatory approvals for Canadian facilities and provide confidence in equipment reliability, monitoring expectations, and fault-handling requirements.
Maintenance is simplified by the fixed 3-fuse design and robust Unipak enclosure, reducing service intervals and arc-flash exposure during fuse replacements. The primary ROI arises from improved power-factor correction, lowering reactive-energy charges and enhancing voltage stability. In practice, facilities report measurable energy savings and fewer voltage-related process disturbances after commissioning.
