Power factor correction in low voltage

High-standard solutions for low-voltage systems.

Over the last 25 years Avalon Partners had been maintaining its position of the biggest and oldest local manufacturer for reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering equipment. Avalon Partners manufactures its own brand of low voltage power factor correction cabinets – Avalon RpoweR. The design of these cabinets is based on our long experience, so that our clients are provided with robust, secure and completely customized system that offers best technology available:

• capacitors produced from high quality dielectric film originating from European factories,
• latest control technology providing high accuracy and low wear of components with minimization of switching operations,
• modern controllers with monitoring of all power parameters (U, I, PF, THD, harmonics, …),
• real time monitoring of capacitors’ dielectric condition and advanced protection against failure,
• real time monitoring of power quality and advanced protection against resonances or harmonic overcurrent flow.

  

Wide variety of power factor correction technologies

We design, manufacture and commission Avalon RpoweR low voltage power factor correction systems of broad spectrum:

• type: all-capacitor, anti-resonant (detuned) filters, tuned filters, hybrid filters
• regulation: contactor, thyristor, mixed
• voltage level: 230-690 V
• level of protection: from IP00 to IP56
• delivery: factory tested cabinets, on-site retrofit of existing cabinets.

Power factor correction bank – design considerations

Design of the RpoweR low voltage power factor correction cabinets, among other things, takes into consideration the following crucial aspects:

• the analysis of reactive power flows and harmonics load for each separate capacitor
• the impact of electrical transients upon switching on the capacitor
• harmonic load flow verification for each combination of connected steps
• calculation of thermal loads and optimization of airflow
• reduced vibrations and acoustic noise
• calculation of the impact of dynamic forces

Our commitment

Owing to the careful selection of the high-quality components and expert design, RpoweR cabinets take into consideration the broadest spectrum of electromagnetic and atmospheric influences,. We are proud to say that RpoweR low voltage power factor correction cabinets provide:

• the longest guarantee period
• the lowest losses
• the lowest working temperature of components
• safe operation due to component quality and number of advanced protective features implemented
• great reliability due to careful assessment of every aspect of equipment exploitation and detailed factory acceptance testing procedure.
