7 Choice of Compensation Type Construction of References Principle Devices using power electronics (variable speed drives, rectifiers, UPS, arc furnaces, fluorescent lamps, etc.) generate harmonic currents in electrical networks. Such harmonics can interfere with the operation of many devices, including capacitors, which are highly sensitive to harmonics. A high level of harmonic pollution causes capacitors to overheat and age prematurely (breakdown). Different types of compensation must be chosen according to the power of the harmonic generators: standard or detuned. It can be selected as follows: Calculated ratio Qc/Sn > 20% V L V A W 2 N A A Equipment type Voltage Frequency Power Used to differentiate incomer VLVAW2N: small-size standard 6 = 480 V 6 = 60 Hz 100 = 100 kvar AA = lugs VLVAW3N: mid-size standard 7 = 600 V AB = incoming CB VLVAF4P: detuned VLVFF4P: fixed detuned Examples b VLVAF4P76200AB = VarSet Detuned, 600 V, 60 Hz, 200 kvar with incoming circuit breaker No Yes VarSet detuned TDDi < 8% THD(V) < 3% No Yes VarSet standard What are these ratios? > The Total Current Demand Distortion (TDDi) ratio is harmonic current distortion against the full load (demand) level. > The percentage of Total Harmonic Voltage Distortion (THD(V)) is measured at the transformer secondary, at maximum load and without capacitors. No Active filters TDDi < 20% THD(V) < 7% Yes Sn (kva) P (kw) Gh (kva) Qc (kvar) Sn: apparent power of the transformer. Gh: apparent power of harmonics-generating receivers (variable speed motors, static converters, power electronics, etc.). Qc: power of the compensation equipment. V: network voltage. 2 3

11 VarSet Offer VarSet Components major components are Square D by Schneider Electric components VarSet Offer VarSet Components Step Circuit Breaker Our VarSet offer comes with the assurance that the major components inside are manufactured by Square D by Schneider Electric, thus ensuring high quality. VarPlusCan: Heavy Duty Capacitors The VarSet range of equipment is integrated with heavy-duty aluminum can capacitors (VarPlusCan) that are specially designed and engineered to deliver reactive power continuously with low losses. Features: p continuous service p high overload capabilities with good thermal and mechanical properties p self-healing with discharge resistors p pressure-sensitive disconnector on all three phases p special film resistivity and metallization profile for higher thermal efficiency and enhanced life expectancy Each physical step is protected by a step circuit breaker that ensures that our equipment is highly fault-tolerant, ensuring continuity of service even when one or more capacitors are malfunctioning. This superior protection provides a stage overload protection that cannot be achieved with HRC fuses, furthermore it eliminates the need for spare fuses. The details of the steps are on page 9. VarPlusCan capacitors Circuit breakers Incoming Circuit Breaker Square D by Schneider Electric circuit breakers are designed to ensure maximum continuity of service. Our VarSet range of products has the option of being protected with an incoming circuit breaker. Our range comes with an option to integrate circuit breakers of 65 ka breaking capacity for 480 V networks and 50 ka for 600 V networks. Rotary handle is also provided to facilitate the disconnection of circuit breakers before opening the door. This is an additional protection mechanism to ensure personnel safety. TeSys TM LC1D range of contactors TeSys Contactors Capacitor control is accompanied by a transient state resulting from the capacitor load. This generates a very high overcurrent, equivalent to a short circuit of short duration. Unique technology contactors The contactors used in our devices are specifically designed for capacitor control. They are fitted with a contact block allowing the current to pass on closing through damping resistors that limit the current on energization. Personal safety The contactors cannot be operated manually. The contactors are fitted with covers to protect them from direct contact. Safety of installations Damping resistors are used to reduce transient over-voltage. Continuing service life These contactors are a ready-to-use solution that avoids the installation of inrush reactors. Their service life is far longer than that of conventional solutions. Varlogic NR6 Varlogic NRC12 Varlogic N Power Factor Controller Our range of Varlogic N series of Power Factor Controllers are simple to program, reliable, and intelligent. Varlogic Controllers offer user-friendly features such as a large backlit display, intuitive menus, ergonomic layout of buttons, direct display of main measurements, and intelligent self set-up. The Varlogic N Controllers constantly measure the reactive power of the installation, and control the connection and disconnection of capacitor steps, to obtain the required power factor. The range is composed of: p NR12: control up to 12 capacitor steps p NRC12 with modbus: control up to 12 capacitor steps, with advanced diagnostic functions and integrated modbus interface communication module, which enables Varlogic functions to be connected to the energy server EGX300. The EGX300 is an integrated gateway-server that requires only a Web browser and Ethernet network to log and display real-time data and trend plots. Auxiliary Transformer Auxiliary units, such as contactors, controllers, and fans, operate only on 120 Volts AC. The voltage for the auxiliaries has to be converted by an auxiliary transformer. In order to simplify the installation process, VarSet equipment comes with an integrated auxiliary transformer. Detuned reactors Detuned Reactors Detuned reactors enable the protection of capacitors against harmonics. They are recommended for usage in harmonic-rich networks, and come with 4.2 p.u. tuning order. They are equipped with a thermal protection device for step disconnection. Other Accessories Accessories, such as plinth (for easier installation on uneven surfaces,) can be ordered as an option along with the VarSet equipment. Spatial Enclosures p NEMA 1 p IK10: Maximum possible protection against mechanical shocks and can withstand 20 joules of energy. Spatial enclosures 10 11
