VarSet offer Physical and electrical steps
400 V/50 Hz
Our VarSet offer comes with the assurance that the components
inside are manufactured by Schneider Electric, thus assuring high
quality.
VarSet range of equipments are integrated with heavy duty aluminum can
capacitors (Varplus Can) that are especially designed and engineered to
deliver a long life expectancy with low losses.
Features:
p high life expectancy
p high overload capabilities with good thermal and mechanical properties
p self-healing with discharge resistors
VarplusCan capacitors
p pressure-sensitive disconnector on all three phases
p special film resistivity and metallization profile for higher thermal efficiency
and enhanced life expectancy.
shock coils. Their service life is far longer than that of conventional solutions.
Detuned reactors
Detuned Reactors enable the protection of capacitors against harmonic
pollution. They are recommended for usage in polluted networks, with a
tuning factor 3.8
Detuned reactors They are equipped with thermal protection device for step disconnection.
Spacial enclosures
p IP31: recommended for indoor usage. Protection against condensation as
well as tools and wires (>2.5 mm).

continuity of service. Our VarSet range of products have the option of being
protected with a main incomer circuit breaker; no spare fuses required and
overload protection that cannot be achieved with HRC fuses.
While the smaller power ranges (less than 100 kvar), are always protected
with circuit breakers of up to 35 kA breaking capacity.
Rotary handle is also provided as an option to facilitate the disconnection
of circuit breakers, before opening the door. This is an additional protection
mechanism to ensure the safety of personnel.
Circuit breakers
Auxiliary Transformer
Auxiliary units such as contactors, controllers, and fans, operate only on
230 Volts. For installation other than 230 Volts, the voltage for the auxiliaries
has to be converted by an auxiliary transformer. In order to simplify the
installation process, VarSet equipments can be integrated with an auxiliary
transformer (chosen as an option).
Varlogic NRC12
Other Accessories
Accessories such as plinth (for easier installation on uneven surfaces) can be
ordered as an option along with the VarSet equipments.
