General Information

In unstable businesses where reactive changes are fast and large, systems with contactors are insufficient to respond to the need for compensation. In the compensation of such enterprises, it is possible to respond to rapidly changing loads by switching with thyristor instead of switching with mechanical contactors in classical systems. In addition, when the capacitors are commissioned for the first time, since the current drawn is minimum, it is possible to switch on and off at a high speed. With this system, the life of the capacitor and switching elements is extended and the power quality is positively affected. In addition, maintenance costs are minimized. The system can operate in both binary mode and normal mode, depending on the power of the connected capacitors. If the capacitor arrangement is made in such a way that each step is 2 times the previous step, the system is considered as binary. In binary mode, capacitor selection is done much faster. If desired, the system that will be created without a binary sequencing in this way accepts the relay as normal mode and produces a solution accordingly. The system detects the load change in 10 ms and makes it possible to switch within the next 10 ms. At the first zero crossing after the switching signal, the capacitor is activated (<20 ms). In this way, the response rate of the system is pulled up to 50 ms.
