Static power factor correction capacitor

The reactive power regulator has a switching time of the banks extremely quicker than the standard regulator. The device for switching the capacitors banks is electronic, controlled by thyristors, with the capability of switching the capacitors at zero crossing. Maximum speed in switching the capacitors banks (the total power is switched in less than one second). No current peak on the capacitors at the time of switching of the banks. No voltage peak on the capacitors at the time of switching off the banks. Elimination of problems related to contactor contact wear.
