Description
MV Equalizer – Power Factor Correction System at Medium Voltage
Real time reactive power compensation and power factor correction (PFC) system
The MV Equalizer power factor correction system for dynamic loads with extreme fast variations of reactive power demand. It continuously provides real-time response in less than 1 cycle for Reactive Power, Harmonics, Voltage drops, Flickering and as a result supports grid’s stability. The Equalizer system uses ultra-high power medium voltage thyristor switching technology, providing transient free smooth switching by connecting capacitors at zero-crossing.
Installing the Equalizer system at one or several points of the grid will enhance voltage stability for networks with rapid loads and will prevent machinery downtime. The ability to perform real-time compensation with high efficiency (low losses) makes the Elspec Equalizer one of the most efficient solutions in the market today.
Elspec MV Equalizer solutions are tailor-made for our customers’ specific needs. We offer wide range of MV power factor correction systems up to 115MVAr. The systems can be operated indoor as well as outdoor.
