Save costs and use grids more efficiently with compensation systems!
With the compensation systems from PQ ENGINEERING Reduce reactive power losses and use your grids more efficiently and economically. Inductive loads generate reactive current, which causes additional losses in cables and transformers. Through the targeted use optimally designed power capacitors This unnecessary energy consumption can be minimized – and thus also your Reduce reactive power costs.
Tailor-made solutions – individually tailored to your network requirements
Turnkey processing – complete project support for smooth integration
Made in Germany – proven quality with worldwide installation
Wide range of applications – Nominal voltages from 1 kV to 36 kV
Use the latest reactive power compensation to reduce grid losses, lower operating costs and optimally utilize grid capacity.
Fixed capacitors CD.. and individual compensation
Medium-voltage capacitor banks are manufactured from individual capacitors using all-film technology. For voltage ranges up to 24 kV, the capacitor banks can be fitted with a cover to ensure protection against accidental contact with live parts. Systems are available for indoor and outdoor installation.
For small compensation powers (up to 1500 kvar), the batteries are preferably constructed from three-phase capacitors; for larger powers, the batteries are constructed from single-phase capacitors.
