Power Factor Correction
Eaton offers a full line of Cutler-Hammer brand capacitor bank products for power factor correction, including:
Fixed Capacitor Banks
Available in 1 to 400 kvar, and up to 600 VAC, Cutler-Hammer fixed capacitor banks feature multiple capacitor cells assembled in a single enclosure. Designed for high reliability and a long service life, fixed capacitor banks are intended for applications that do not contain harmonic generating loads.
Switched Capacitor Banks
With standard ratings of 25 to 840 kvar, and up to 600 VAC, switched power factor correction capacitor banks are designed with built-in intelligence to adapt to a facility's changing load conditions. To maintain the desired power factor level, the product automatically monitors and controls banks of capacitor cells. As loads change throughout the facility, the solid state controller adds or subtracts capacitance from the system to maintain a consistent level of desired power factor.
