ReactiVar

Medium Voltage Capacitor Systems

Class 5840, 5841

Power factor correction, harmonic mitigation, and voltage support in medium voltage electrical systems. Custom engineered for steady and rapidly fluctuating loads.

ReactiVar® Medium Voltage Fixed Power Factor Capacitors

The ReactiVar MVC fixed capacitors are ideally suited for power factor correction in applications where the load does not change or where the capacitor is switched with the load, such as the load side of a motor contactor. ReactiVar capacitors are available up to 300 kVAR as individual units, and up to 600 kVAR in banks. Unfused or fused (2 fuses) assemblies are available. Other ranges available upon request.

Features:

●	Fused and unfused applications

●	Standard rating up to 600 kVAR, 4800 V (for specials, consult factory)

●	Metallized polypropylene film capacitors for low dielectric loss

●	Internally mounted discharge resistors

●	Operating temperature range of –25¡C to +45¡C

●	Built to applicable NEMA, IEEE, and IEC standards

●	Available in indoor (Type 1/12) and outdoor (Type 3R) enclosures

●	Painted ASA 61 gray

Lead time: 12–14 weeks typical (consult factory for committed delivery)

ReactiVar Medium Voltage Metal Enclosed Automatic Capacitor Banks (MV5000/MV6000/MV7000)

The ReactiVar medium voltage automatic capacitor banks are ideally suited for centralized power factor correction and/or harmonic filtering in applications where plant loading is constantly changing, resulting in the need for varying amounts of reactive power. All MV capacitor systems are a custom-engineered to meet project specific application and installation needs.

Features:

●	Standard metal enclosures available up to 20,000 kVAR, 5/15 kV, 50/60 Hz

●	The Square D HVL load interrupter switch (fused or unfused)

●	Externally fused Merlin Gerin PROPIVAR (or equivalent) or Cooper capacitors with excellent life due to high temperature withstand, small temperature rise, chemical stability, overvoltage and overcurrent withstand. (Internally fused capacitor available upon request)

●	Three-bushing capacitor cells connected in delta available up to 5 kV. Two-bushing capacitor cells connected in ungrounded wye for higher voltages

●	Current limiting capacitor fuses with blown fuse pop-up indicators

●	current limiting reactors in multistage-step MV5000 standard systems to limit high capacitor inrush currents

●	Iron core reactors in MV6000 de-tune banks to prevent parallel resonance

●	Heavy-duty iron core reactors in MV7000 filtered banks for effective 5th harmonic filtering.

●	Available in Type 1 indoor and 3R outdoor enclosure types

●	Key interlocking system forces sequential operation of the controls, non-load break switch (or circuit breaker) and ground switches

●	Superior Square D Varlogic™ microprocessor based power factor controller

●	The Merlin Gerin SEPAM protective relaying.

Lead time: 12–16 weeks typical (consult factory for committed delivery)
