Eaton 875MV2AI38FGMW MV AutoVAR capacitor bank - CSA
Part Number: 875MV2AI38FGMW
Quick Summary
The Eaton MV AutoVAR filtered capacitor bank delivers high-capacity reactive power support for 13.8 kV distribution networks in industrial facilities. Operators struggle with voltage fluctuations, harmonic distortion, and costly utility penalties when reactive power is not properly managed. This model meets IEEE Std. 18 and CSA certification for Canada, and is designed as a 15 kV class standard with a 4.2 H detuned filter. In practice, this enables predictable performance, improved power quality, and a clear path to scalable capacity within your MV power system. With robust mechanical design and field-proven reliability, it integrates into existing MV distributions with minimal disruption. Primary benefits include reduced energy charges and longer equipment life.

875 kVAR reactive power support at 13,800 V, 60 Hz is a central feature. Its capability to deliver calibrated VARs stabilizes voltages under varying load, reducing voltage flicker and improving process control. This is essential for manufacturing lines and batch processes that are sensitive to power quality, enabling smoother operation and fewer disturbances. Detuned filter: The 4.2H detuned filter works with the capacitor bank to mitigate harmonic currents, protecting upstream transformers and switchgear while meeting utility bandwidth requirements. This integration reduces harmonic distortion without requiring separate equipment, simplifying project scope and commissioning timelines. Standards and certification: IEEE Std 18 compliance and CSA certification (Canada Only) provide clear evidence of safety and performance under field conditions. For procurement teams, this means reduced qualification risk and faster approval cycles in North American sites. Physical footprint and compatibility: With a 106 in length, 99 in height, and 65 in width, this unit is designed to fit standard MV footprints and provides substantial reactive support within a durable frame. A 10,000 lb weight underlines its robust construction and suitability for permanent installation alongside existing switchgear. Business value and installation: The combination of high kVAR capacity, proven reliability, and standardized design simplifies budgeting and project planning. Operators gain predictable performance, easier maintenance planning, and a scalable path to future capacity expansion as demand grows.

FAQs
This capacitor bank is designed for integration with typical MV distribution layouts at 13.8 kV. Plan for the unit’s footprint of 106 in L x 99 in H x 65 in W and the 10,000 lb weight to ensure proper mounting, seismic considerations, and accessible clearances for connections. Verify voltage ratings (13.8 kV, 60 Hz) and adherence to IEEE Std 18/CSA requirements during commissioning.
The unit delivers 875 kVAR of reactive power at 13,800 V and 60 Hz, providing substantial VAR support to stabilize voltage under varying load. The 4.2H detuned filter mitigates harmonics, helping keep distortion within utility limits and protecting downstream equipment during heavy motor starts and process transients.
Yes. The Eaton MV AutoVAR capacitor bank carries IEEE Std. 18 compliance and CSA certification for Canada, offering validated safety and performance in Canadian installations and aligning with regional regulatory requirements for power factor correction equipment.
Industrial facilities with large MV networks, heavy electrical loads, and variable demand benefit most. Typical use cases include voltage regulation for sensitive machinery, harmonic mitigation in harmonic-rich environments, and reduction of utility charges through improved power factor, making it well-suited for manufacturing, processing plants, and utilities.
Expect improved reliability and reduced reactive charges over time due to stabilized voltages and harmonics. Maintenance should focus on standard MV equipment practices, inspection of detuned filter components, and routine electrical tests. The equipment’s standardized design supports predictable procurement, budgeting, and scalable capacity as demand grows.
