Capacitor Selection
There are two basic types of capacitor installations: individual capacitors on linear or sinusoidal loads, and banks of xed or automatically switched capacitors at the feeder or substation.
Individual vs. Banked Installations

Advantages of individual capacitors at the load:
Improved motor performance due to more efcient power utilization and reduced voltage drops Motors and capacitors can be easily relocated together Easier to select the right capacitor for the load Reduced line losses Increased system capacity
Load Capacity
If feeders or transformers are overloaded, or to add additional load to already loaded lines, correction must be applied at the load. If a facility has surplus amperage, capacitor banks can be installed at main feeders. If load varies a great deal, automatic switching is a good solution.
Advantages of bank installations at the feeder or substation:
Utility Billing
The severity of the local electric utility tariff for power factor will affect payback and ROI. In many areas, an optimally designed power factor correction system will pay for itself in less than two years.
Complete control. Capacitors cannot cause problems on the line during light load conditions No need for separate switching. Motor always operates with capacitor
Lower cost per kVAR Total plant power factor improved reduces or eliminates all forms of kVAR charges Automatic switching ensures exact amount of power factor correction, eliminates overcapacitance and resulting overvoltages
National Electrical Code Requirements for Capacitors

Nameplate kVAR: Tolerance +15, 0%. Discharge resistors: Capacitors rated at 600V and less must reduce the charge to less than 50V within 1 minute of de-energization. Capacitors rated above 600V must reduce the charge within 5 minutes. Continuous operation: Up to 135% rated (nameplate) kVAR, including the effects of 110% rated voltage (121% kVAR), 15% capacitance tolerance and harmonic voltages over the fundamental frequency (60 Hz). Dielectric strength test: Twice the rated AC voltage (or a DC voltage 4.3 times the AC rating for nonmetallized systems). Overcurrent Protection: Fusing between 1.65 and 2.5 times rated current to protect case from rupture. Does not preclude NEC requirement for overcurrent protection in all three ungrounded conductors.
Note: When capacitor is connected to the load side of the motor overcurrent protection, fused disconnects or breaker protection is not required. Fuses are recommended for all other indoor applications.
Table 35.0-1. Summary of Advantages/Disadvantages of Individual, Fixed Banks, Automatic Banks, Combination
Method Individual capacitors Fixed bank Automatic bank Combination Advantages Most technically efcient, most exible Most economical, fewer installations Best for variable loads, prevents overvoltages, low installation cost Most practical for larger numbers of motors Disadvantages Higher installation and maintenance cost Less exible, requires switches and/or circuit breakers Higher equipment cost Least exible
Selection Criteria
The selection of the type of capacitor installation will depend on advantages and disadvantages of each type and several plant variables, including load type, load size, load constancy, load capacity, motor starting methods and manner of utility billing.
Load Size
Facilities with large loads benet from a combination of individual load, group load and banks of xed and automatically-switched capacitor units. A small facility, on the other hand, may require only one capacitor at the service entrance. Sometimes, only an isolated trouble spot requires power factor correction in applications such as welding machines, induction heaters or DC drives. If a particular feeder serving a low power factor load is corrected, it may raise overall plant power factor enough that additional capacitors are unnecessary.
Load Type
If a facility has many large motors, 50 hp and above, it is usually economical to install one capacitor per motor and switch the capacitor and motor together. If there are many small motors, 1/2 to 25 hp, motors can be grouped with one capacitor at a central point in the distribution system. Often, the best solution for plants with large and small motors is to use both types of capacitor installations.
Load Constancy
If a facility operates around-the-clock and has a constant load demand, xed capacitors offer the greatest economy. If load is determined by eight-hour shifts ve days a week, use switched units to decrease capacitance during times of reduced load.

Capacitor Switching Devices

Low Voltage Capacitor Switching
Circuit breakers and switches for use with a capacitor must have a current rating in excess of rated capacitor current to provide for overcurrent from overvoltages at fundamental frequency and harmonic currents. The following percent of the capacitor-rated current should be used as a general guideline: Fused and unfused switches. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 165% Molded-case breaker or equivalent . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 150% DSII power circuit breakers . . . . . 135% Magnum DS power circuit breaker . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 135% Contactors: Open type . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 135% Enclosed type . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 150% The NEC, Section 460.8(c)(4), requires the disconnecting means to be rated not less than 135% of the rated capacitor current (for 600V and below). See Page 35.0-4 for more information on Low Voltage Capacitor Switching Devices.
ANSI Standard C37.06 (indoor oilless circuit breakers) indicates the preferred ratings of Eatons Type VCP-W vacuum breaker. For capacitor switching careful attention should be paid to the notes accompanying the table. The denition of the terms are in ANSI Standard C37.04 Article 5.13 (for the latest edition). The application guide ANSI/IEEE Standard C37.012 covers the method of calculation of the quantities covered by C37.06 Standard. Note that the denitions in C37.04 make the switching of two capacitors banks in close proximity to the switchgear bus a back-to-back mode of switching. This classication requires a denite purpose circuit breaker (breakers specically designed for capacitance switching). We recommend that such application be referred to Eaton. A breaker specied for capacitor switching should include as applicable: 1. Rated maximum voltage. 2. Rated frequency. 3. Rated open wire line charging switching current. 4. Rated isolated cable charging and shunt capacitor switching current. 5. Rated back-to-back cable charging and back-to-back capacitor switching current. 6. Rated transient overvoltage factor. 7. Rated transient inrush current and its frequency. 8. Rated interrupting time. 9. Rated capacitive current switching life. 10. Grounding of system and capacitor bank. Loadbreak interrupter switches are permitted by ANSI/IEEE Standard C37.30 to switch capacitance but they must have tested ratings for the purpose. Refer to Eaton Type MVS ratings.
Projects that anticipate requiring capacitor bank switching or fault interrupting should identify the breakers that must have capacitive current switching ratings on the equipment schedules and contract drawings used for the project. Manufacturers standard medium voltage breakers meeting ANSI C37.xx are not all rated for switching capacitive loads. Special breakers are usually available from vendors to comply with the ANSI C37.012 (Application Guide for Capacitor Current Switching) and other applicable ANSI standards. The use of capacitive current rated breakers can affect the medium voltage switchgear layout, thus early identication of these capacitive loads are critical to the design process. For example, the standard 15 kV Eaton 150 VCP-W 500, 1200A vacuum breaker does not have a capacitive current switching rating; however, the 15 kV Eaton 150 VCP-W 25C, 1200A vacuum breaker does have the following general purpose ratings: 25A rms cable charging current switching Isolated shunt capacitor bank switching current ratings of 25A to 600A Denite purpose back-to-back capacitor switch ratings required when two banks of capacitors are independently switched from the 15 kV switchgear bus

Medium Voltage Capacitor Switching

Capacitance switching constitutes severe operating duty for a circuit breaker. At the time the breaker opens at near current zero the capacitor is fully charged. After interruption, when the alternating voltage on the source side of the breaker reaches its opposite maximum, the voltage that appears across the contacts of the open breaker is at least twice the normal peak lineto-neutral voltage of the circuit. If a breakdown occurs across the open contact the arc is re-established. Due to the circuit constants on the supply side of the breaker, the voltage across the open contact can reach three times the normal line-to-neutral voltage. After it is interrupted and with subsequent alternation of the supply side voltage, the voltage across the open contact is even higher.
The special breakers with these capacitive current ratings do not have UL labels, thus UL assembly ratings are not available. Contact Eaton for more details on vacuum breaker and fused load interrupter switch products with capacitive switching current ratings at medium voltages.

Switching device ratings are based on percentage of capacitor-rated current as indicated (above). The interrupting rating of the switch must be selected to match the system fault current available at the point of capacitor application. Whenever a capacitor bank is purchased with less than the ultimate kVAR capacity of the rack or enclosure, the switch rating should be selected based on the ultimate kVAR capacity not the initial installed capacity.

Capacitor Installation
35.0-5
Installing Capacitors in a Plant Distribution System

At the Load
Because capacitors act as kVAR generators, the most efcient place to install them is directly at the motor, where kVAR is consumed. Three options or other low power factor load exist for installing capacitors at the motor. Use Figures 35.0-135.0-7, and the information below to determine which option is best for each motor.
Location CLine Side of Starter

Motors that are jogged, plugged, reversed Multi-speed motors Starters with open transition and starters that disconnect/reconnect capacitor during cycle Motors that start frequently Motor loads with high inertia, where disconnecting the motor with the capacitor can turn the motor into a self-excited generator

At the Service Feeder

When correcting entire plant loads, capacitor banks can be installed at the service entrance, if load conditions and transformer size permits. If the amount of correction is too large, some capacitors can be installed at individual motors or branch circuits. When capacitors are connected to the bus, feeder, motor control center or switchboard, a disconnect and overcurrent protection must be provided.

Harmonic Considerations
35.0-7
A discussion of power system harmonics is incomplete without discussing the effects of power factor correction capacitors. In an industrial plant containing power factor correction capacitors, harmonic currents and voltages can be magnied considerably due to the interaction of the capacitors with the service transformer. This is referred to as harmonic resonance or parallel resonance. For a typical plant containing power factor correction capacitors, the resonant frequency (frequency at which amplication occurs) normally falls in the vicinity of the 5th to the 13th harmonic. Because nonlinear loads typically inject currents at the 5th, 7th, 11th and 13th harmonics, a resonant or near-resonant condition will often result if drives and capacitors are installed on the same system, producing the symptoms and problems with blown fuses, damaged capacitors or failures in other portions of the electrical distribution system.
Note: Capacitors themselves do not cause harmonics, but only aggravate potential harmonic problems. Often, harmonic-related problems do not show up until capacitors are applied for power factor correction.
If 350 kVAR of capacitors were used to improve power factor, h would be:
22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43
h =
17,391 = ----------------350
49.7 = 7.0
Because h falls right on the 7th harmonic, these capacitors could create a harmful resonance condition if nonlinear devices were present in the factory. In this case the capacitors should be applied only as harmonic ltering assemblies.
Diagnosing a Potential Harmonics Related Problem

Negative symptoms of harmonics on plant equipment include blown fuses on capacitors, reduced motor life, false or spurious operations of fuses or circuit breakers, decreased life or increased noise in transformers or mis-operation of electronic or microprocessor controls. If one or more of these symptoms occurs with regularity, then the following steps should be taken. 1. If the plant contains power factor correction capacitors, the current into the capacitors should be measured using a true rms current meter. If this value is higher than the capacitors rated current at the system voltage (by >5% or so), the presence of harmonic voltage distortion is likely. 2. Conduct a paper audit of the plants harmonic-producing loads and system conguration. This analysis starts with the gathering of kVA or horsepower data on all the major nonlinear devices in the plant, all capacitors, and rating information on service entrance transformer(s). This data is analyzed to determine whether the conditions are present to create unfavorable levels of harmonics. 3. If the electrical distribution system is complexe.g., multiple service entrances, distributed capacitors or if the paper audit is incomplete or considered to be too burdensome, the most denitive way to determine whether harmonics are causing a problem is through an on-site plant audit. This audit involves an inspection of the electrical system layout and connected loads, as well as harmonic measurements taken at strategic locations. This data can then be assembled and analyzed to obtain a clear and concise understanding of the power system.
It is a common misconception that the problem of applying capacitors in harmonic environments is limited to problems caused for the capacitor itselfthat the capacitors lower impedance at higher frequencies causes a current overload into the capacitor and, therefore, must be removed. However, the capacitor/harmonics problem must be viewed from a power system standpoint. The capacitor-induced increase of harmonic voltages and currents on a plants system may be causing problems while the capacitor itself remains within its acceptable current rating.
Capacitor Banks and Transformers Can Cause Resonance

Capacitors and transformers can create dangerous resonance conditions when capacitor banks are installed at the service entrance. Under these conditions, harmonics produced by nonlinear devices can be amplied many fold. Problematic amplication of harmonics becomes more likely as more kVAR is added to a system which contains a signicant amount of nonlinear load. An estimate of the resonant harmonic frequency is found by using the following formula:
kVA sys -----------------kVAR kVA sys = Short-Circuit Capacity of the System kVAR = Amount of Capacitor kVAR on the Line h = The Harmonic Number referred to a 60 Hz Base h =
If h is near the values of the major harmonics generated by a nonlinear devicei.e., 3, 5, 7, 11then the resonance circuit will greatly increase harmonic distortion. For example, if a plant has a 1500 kVA transformer with a 5-1/2% impedance and the short-circuit rating of the utility is 48,000 kVA, then kVAsys would equal 17,391 kVA.

Eliminating Harmonic Problems

When power factor correction is required in the presence of nonlinear loads, or the amount of harmonic distortion must be reduced to solve power quality problems or avoid penalties, the most reliable, lowest cost solution is often realized with the use of harmonic lters.
A shunt harmonic lter therefore accomplishes three things: 1. Provides power factor correction. 2. Prevents harmonic overvoltages due to resonance. 3. Reduces voltage harmonic distortion and transformer harmonic loading at frequencies above its tuning point. In some circumstances, a harmonic resonance condition may accrue gradually over time as capacitors and nonlinear loads are installed in a plant. The replacement of such capacitors with harmonic lters in order to correct a problem may be prohibitively expensive. Custom-designed harmonic lters which are able to eliminate problems associated with resonance at any particular frequency while providing an extremely low amount of power factor correction capacitance. These low kVAR lters are therefore able to provide the same amount of ltering capacity as a much larger conventional lter, but at a lower cost.

Passive and Switched Harmonic Filters

A shunt harmonic lter (see Figure 35.0-8) is, essentially, a power factor correction capacitor combined with a series iron core reactor. A lter provides power factor correction at the fundamental frequency and becomes an inductance (like a motor) at frequencies higher than its tuning point. Most harmonic lters are tuned below the 5th harmonic. Therefore, the lter provides an inductive impedance path to those currents at harmonic frequencies created by nearly all three-phase non-linear loads (5th, 7th, 11th, 13th, etc.). Because the lter is not capacitive at these frequencies, the plant electrical system can no longer resonate at these frequencies and can not magnify the harmonic voltages and currents.

Solutions for Systems with High Harmonics

If the plant loads vary, then a switched capacitor/lter bank is recommended. For systems with widely varying loads where harmonic cancellation is the primary goal, a Harmonic Correction Unit (HCU) is recommended.

Motor Power Factor Correction

Tables 35.0-3 and 35.0-4 contain suggested maximum capacitor ratings for induction motors switched with the capacitor. The data is general in nature and representative of general purpose induction motors of standard design. The preferable means to select capacitor ratings is based on the maximum recommended kVAR information available from the motor manufacturer. If this is not possible or feasible, the tables can be used. An important point to remember is that if the capacitor used with the motor is too large, self-excitation may cause a motor-damaging overvoltage when the motor and capacitor combination is disconnected from the line. In addition, high transient torques capable of damaging the motor shaft or coupling can occur if the motor is reconnected to the line while rotating and still generating a voltage of self-excitation.

kVARrating of the capacitor in reactive kilovolt-amperes. This value is approximately equal to the motor no-load magnetizing kilovars. % ARpercent reduction in line current due to the capacitor. A capacitor located on the motor side of the overload relay reduces line current through the relay. Therefore, a different overload relay and/or setting may be necessary. The reduction in line current may be determined by measuring line current with and without the capacitor or by calculation as follows: (Original PF) % AR = 100 100 (Improved PF) If a capacitor is used with a lower kVAR rating than listed in tables, the % AR can be calculated as follows: Actual kVAR % AR = Listed % AR kVAR in Table The tables can also be used for other motor ratings as follows: A. For standard 60 Hz motors operating at 50 Hz: kVAR = 1.71.4 of kVAR listed % AR = 1.81.35 of % AR listed B. For standard 50 Hz motors operating at 50 Hz: kVAR = 1.41.1 of kVAR listed % AR = 1.41.05 of % AR listed C. For standard 60 Hz wound-rotor motors: kVAR = 1.1 of kVAR listed % AR= 1.05 of % AR listed
Note: For A, B, C, the larger multipliers apply for motors of higher speeds; i.e., 3600 rpm = 1.7 mult., 1800 rpm = 1.65 mult., etc.
To derate a capacitor used on a system voltage lower than the capacitor voltage rating, such as a 240V capacitor used on a 208V system, use the following formula:

For the kVAC required to correct the power factor from a given value of COS 1 to COS 2, the formula is: kVAC = kW (tan phase1tan phase2) Capacitors cause a voltage rise. At light load periods the capacitive voltage rise can raise the voltage at the location of the capacitors to an unacceptable level. This voltage rise can be calculated approximately by the formula MVA r % VR = MVA SC MVAR is the capacitor rating and MVASC is the system shortcircuit capacity. With the introduction of variable speed drives and other harmonic current generating loads, the capacitor impedance value determined must not be resonant with the inductive reactances of the system. This matter is discussed further under the heading Harmonics and Nonlinear Loads.

Note: To obtain required capacitor kVAR: 1. Get PF correction factor from Table 35.0-7 above. 2. Required capacitor kVAR = kW load x factor.
How Much kVAR Do I Need?

The unit for rating power factor capacitors is kVAR, equal to 1000 volt-amperes of reactive power. The kVAR rating signies how much reactive power the capacitor will provide. Instructions: 1. Find the present power factor in column 1. 2. Read across to optimum power factor column.
3. Multiply that number by kW demand. Example: If your plant consumed 410 kW, was currently operating at 73% power factor and you wanted to correct power factor to 95%, you would: 1. Find 0.73 in column 1. 2. Read across to 0.95 column. 3. Multiply 0.607 by 410 = 249 (round to 250).

Low Voltage Power Factor Correction Capacitor Banks and Harmonic Filters
Harmonic Filtering
As the world becomes more dependent on electric and electronic equipment, the likelihood that the negative impact of harmonic distortion increases dramatically. The efciency and productivity gains from these increasingly sophisticated pieces of equipment have a negative side effectincreased harmonic distortion in the power lines. The difcult thing about harmonic distortion is determining the cause. Once this has been determined, the solution can be easy. Passive and active harmonic ltering equipment will mitigate specic harmonic issues, and correct poor power factor as well.
Low Voltage Power Factor Correction Capacitor Banks and Harmonic Filters
General Description
Power Factor Correction Capacitors
Eaton Power factor correction capacitors and harmonic lters are an essential part of modern electric power systems. Power factor correction capacitors are the simplest and most economical means of increasing the capacity of any power system, minimizing energy losses and correcting load power factor. In addition, power factor penalties can be reduced and power quality can be greatly enhanced. There are several reasons to correct poor power factor. The rst is to reduce or eliminate a power factor penalty charged by the utility. Another reason is that your existing transformer is, or shortly will be, at full capacity and installing power factor correction capacitors can be a very cost-effective solution to installing a brand new service. Depending on the amount of power factor correction (kVAR that needs to be injected into the electrical system to improve the power factor) and the dynamic nature of the load, a xed or switched capacitor bank may be the best solution. When capacity becomes a problem, the choice of a solution will be dependent upon the size of the increase needed. Like all power quality solutions, there are many factors that need to be considered when determining which solution will be best to solve your power factor problem.

Active-Harmonic FilterHarmonic Correction UnitNEMA 1 Enclosure Specications
The HCU can guarantee the harmonic cancellation performance to the requirements of standards such as IEEE 519, IEC 61000 3-2, 3-4, G5/4-1 and GB/T 14549; irrespective of the loading conditions of the system or the load. The HCU also is ideal for critical installations where the shunt connected HCU does not interfere with the reliability and operation of the installation compared to some series-connected solutions. HCUs are very easy to size, select and apply and are available in a variety of enclosure options including Chassis, NEMA and IP ratings. The HCU can be used in both threephase, three-wire and three-phase, four-wire electrical networks, and up to medium voltages of 15 kV (direct connect up to 480V. The HCUs autodetecting voltage and frequency features make it a versatile device to select without having the system information upfront. The HCU is unique in its capability to operate in dual mode of operation, allowing cancellation of both integral harmonics in discreet spectrum mode and subharmonics and interharmonics in continuous spectrum mode. The HCU also features the capability of providing dynamic VAR injection, thereby providing both true and displacement power factor correction to lagging 0.98 without the inherrent drawbacks of resonance and harmonic overload experienced by traditional passive solutions.
The ability to use the HCU in either dynamic VAR compensation mode or harmonic mitigation mode, or in combination mode makes this an ideal solution in improving other types of power quality problems such as icker reduction. The three frame sizes of HCU and practically unlimited paralleling capability allow it to be connected either as a bus connected or a load connected solution, providing the desired harmonics performance at the bus or at the load.

Transient-Free Statically Switched Capacitor Bank
General Description
The Eaton transient-free statically switched (TFSS) capacitor systems represent the next level of power system enhancements by using semiconductor devices to switch capacitors at the same potential or zero potential difference, thereby eliminating the possible problem of transients caused by capacitor switching and increasing the speed of capacitive VAR compensation. This level of performance is needed when high-current loads rapidly switch on and off and require power factor, voltage icker, sag or harmonic correction. These disturbances can be found in many industries, including rock crushing, arc-welding, plastic injection molding and crane applications. Transient-free statically switched capacitor units are available in two broader models. The FTE model is a real-time transientfree system, used to compensate extremely rapid loads within one cycle of operation (typically 520 msec). The FTA model is a fast transient-free system, used to compensate any loads within 34 seconds. Units are available in a variety of tuning orders/ percentage reactor combinations.

Applications to correct power factor and/or provide voltage support can include:
Power Factor Correction Unit

Flicker reduction Motor starting Bus voltage stabilization Grid fault ride-through On-site generation support Spot welding Wind turbines Other dynamic loads
Three current transformers with a 5A secondary are required for proper operation of a TFSS system. Primary CT current rating is based on service entrance ampacity. Startup and commissioning by factory-trained personnel is required for proper operation and warranty of a TFSS system.

General Description
35.6-1
Metal-Enclosed Medium Voltage
Safety and Aesthetics are Just Two Compelling Reasons to Use Metal-Enclosed PFC Systems
Utility Customers
Metal-enclosed power factor correction systems are fully assembled, tested and ready for installation. Very little eld assembly is required. Installation and maintenance costs for metal-enclosed systems are low compared to pole and rack mounted capacitor banks. Metal-enclosed systems and harmonic lters are less vulnerable to wildlife and airborne contaminants that can cause tracking and faults. In addition, metal-enclosed systems signicantly reduce the risks and the associated liability involving untrained personnel. All live parts are contained in a grounded, key interlocked enclosure and no internal hardware is accessible. Metalenclosed systems are aesthetically pleasing due to their low prole, and can be painted to match the surrounding architecture. These are just some of the reasons more and more utilities are using metal-enclosed capacitor and harmonic lter systems.
Individual xed capacitors provide power factor correction directly at the cause of the problem, such as a large horsepower MV motor. Medium voltage systems allow large industrials to correct power factor at or close to the point of common coupling (PCC), where the utility electrical system meets theirs. This allows correction for an entire facility, instead of having to correct at multiple locations. The Eaton NEMA 3R design also allows the system to be placed outdoors, saving valuable manufacturing oor space. The savings can be enormous, in materials, installation costs and oor space. In short, medium voltage solutions provide a cost-effective alternative to many local low voltage power factor correction units, while protecting the customers entire electrical distribution system.
Benets
Ease of Installation
Eaton makes installation easy. All systems are completely assembled in the factory, with all equipment pre-wired and pre-tested for easy on-site installation. Only shipping splits must be connected in the eld. Splice kits connect bus systems, and control wiring is easily connected at each enclosure. Current limiting fuses, contactor assemblies, and the incoming switch assembly can be removed from the enclosure if needed. Line terminals are completely accessible from the front of the system.
22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42
Personnel Safety
Positive mechanical isolating switch with visible disconnect completely grounds and isolates the unit from the line connectors. A screened barrier protects personnel from live parts. All medium voltage doors are mechanically interlocked with the disconnect switch. Key interlocks are provided standard on all enclosure doors, and can be coordinated with upstream disconnect devices. The low voltage control section has a separate door-in-door design, and is segregated from the medium voltage sections so that an operator can work in that section safely.
Commercial Customers
Many commercial customers are purchasing power from their utility at higher voltages today (2.415 kV), and can also take advantage of medium voltage power factor correction systems. These solutions can meet the needs of large ofce complexes, hospitals and universities, among others. The benets of safety (key interlocking, no exposed live parts, etc.), and aesthetics (low prole, can be painted to match environment) both meet the needs of these applications where there are large numbers of untrained personnel in proximity of electrical equipment.
Ease of Maintenance
All components are front-accessible, facilitating routine inspection or parts replacement. A viewing window is standard on all compartment doors.
Advantages
Eatons purchase of the Commonwealth Sprague capacitor systems business, with its over 70 years of market experience, provides a combination that allows the end user to obtain a world-class solution to ll their power factor needs. Quality and reliability are of paramount importance to not only the Eaton engineering team, but are also the backbone of all Eaton products and services. This commitment to quality means the customer can have a great deal of condence with the medium voltage capacitor or harmonic lter solution from Eatons electrical business.
Flexibility
Systems are expandable. The customer can add stages in the future by connecting the phase bus in the eld via splice kits. Structures can be bolted together in the eld.
Industrial Customers
Large industrial power users can use the benets associated with medium voltage power factor correction and harmonic ltering. Medium voltage solutions usually support the scale and scope of larger services. Medium voltage applications can be found in the following types of industries as examples: automotives, pulp and paper, plastics, petrochemical and heavy manufacturing.

Vacuum Switches
On 2.4 to 4.8 kV multi-stage capacitor systems, each stage is controlled by low maintenance Eaton SL AMPGARD three-pole vacuum contactors. On 6.6 to 14.4 kV multi-stage capacitor systems, each stage is controlled by low maintenance single-pole vacuum switches.
Harmonic Filtering
Eatons medium voltage harmonic lter systems are designed for industrial, utility and commercial power systems to improve power factor, reduce harmonic distortion, increase system capacity and reduce I2R losses. The reactors are typically tuned to the 4.7th harmonic, to mitigate the most damaging 5th level harmonic. This is the most common harmonic produced by six pulse variable speed drives. These lters are designed to the unique specications of each electrical distribution system. Medium voltage capacitor banks can also be congured with de-tuned anti-resonant harmonic lters, typically set to the 4.2nd harmonic. This helps avoid harmonic resonance problems, provides harmonic ltering, and avoids the overloading that is possible with an improperly applied lter.
