PFC MS – Medium voltage compensation
Optimization of the grid capacity

The high-voltage type of compensation!

Medium voltage compensation MIKA from 1 kV

Save costs and use power grids more efficiently with compensation systems from PQ ENGINEERING!

Inductive loads load the supply grids with reactive current, which generates additional losses in cables and transformers. The use of optimally designed power capacitors for reactive power compensation not only saves reactive power costs, but also leads to better utilization of the existing networks.

  • Customized solutions for every application

  • Turn key handling for hassle free processing

  • Made in Germany – Worldwide installations

  • Rated voltages from 1 kV to 36 kV

Fixed capacitors CD.. and single compensation CBANK

Medium voltage capacitor banks are manufactured from individual capacitors using all-film technology. In the voltage range up to 24 kV, the capacitor banks can be provided with a cover to ensure protection against accidental contact with the live parts. Plant designs for indoor and outdoor installation are available.
For small compensation powers (up to 1500 kvar), the batteries are preferably constructed of three-phase capacitors; for larger powers, the batteries are constructed of single-phase capacitors.
