  MV Capacitor cabinet

The automatic reactive power compensation device for high-voltage vacuum circuit breakers automatically switches capacitor banks based on the voltage and reactive power conditions of the power supply busbar, tracking load changes to perform reactive power compensation, thereby improving power factor, power quality, and reducing energy loss. It is installed on the outgoing busbar side of 35kV or 110kV substations, or in 6, 10, and 35kV switching stations, and is also commonly installed in front of the control cabinets of high-voltage motors in industrial enterprises for local compensation.


This device features automatic reactive power compensation, automatically tracking changes in reactive load, switching capacitor banks to improve power factor and power quality; harmonic suppression function, which can be equipped with series reactors to form an LC circuit to suppress harmonics according to the harmonic conditions provided on site; and comprehensive capacitor bank protection, including overvoltage protection, undervoltage protection, overcurrent protection, zero-sequence voltage protection, and capacitor branch unbalanced voltage protection.


The high-voltage automatic reactive power compensation device automatically tracks and compensates for reactive power based on the grid and load conditions of the 6kV and 10kV power supply busbars. This is achieved by automatically tracking and switching capacitor banks through the control system, resulting in a power factor of 0.9 or higher. This significantly optimizes power quality, reduces losses and energy consumption, and increases the transmission capacity of the power transmission and distribution system.

The automatic switching reactive power compensation device for high-voltage vacuum circuit breakers mainly consists of: a reactive power compensation controller and microprocessor-based capacitor protector, current transformer, surge arrester, discharge coil, high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker, reactor, capacitor protection high-voltage fuse (according to capacitor bank configuration), and power capacitor bank (according to user power distribution load).


The high-voltage circuit breaker switching capacitor bank uses a system voltage transformer (PT) to collect A and C phase voltage signals and a system current transformer (CT) to collect B phase current signals, which are then transmitted to the HZS type reactive power compensation controller. The analog signals of voltage and current are obtained through the controller's sampling circuit. After A/D conversion, digital quantities such as voltage and current are obtained. Then, through the controller's microprocessor, parameters such as voltage, current, active power, reactive power factor, and harmonic percentage are calculated and compared with the system setpoints stored in the fixed memory (users can select different control modes based on the above parameters, such as reactive power + voltage, voltage, current, power factor, etc.). The system determines under what conditions the capacitor bank is operated and executes the opening and closing of the capacitor bank through the high-voltage AC vacuum contactor. This achieves the purpose of automatically and cyclically switching the capacitor bank to compensate for reactive power in the line, so as to automatically balance the supply and demand of reactive power on the power grid. This plays an important role in reducing line losses, improving the power factor and the transmission capacity of the system, and improving the power quality of the distribution network.
