Product details
PFC2 80/100kVAR Power Factor Switches
The PFC2 controllers are suitable for 3-wire, 3-phase floating-star or closed-delta configured capacitive loads for Power Factor Correction and can be used in capacitor banks with or without chokes fitted. They are designed to dramatically reduce the inrush current normally found with contactor-based systems and could be used in situations where rapid changes in Power Factor occur such as welding plants, lifts, cranes and wind-powered plants.
Current rating: 125A (80kVAR), 150A (100kVAR) @ 415Vrms
Input voltage: 415Vrms ±10%
Frequency: 50/60Hz
Control signal input: +8 to +24Vdc, Common 0V or Common +VE, Open Collector or Volt Free Contact
Alarm relay functions: Voltage free alarm relay is rated for 125Vac @ 2A.
LED indicators: Green = DC Power ON, Red = Fault, Orange = Signal enabled, Red/Orange = Capacitors discharging
Cooling fan: +24Vdc
Fan switch-on: Typically +55ºC
Over Temperature: Trip in temperature: +90ºC ±1ºC (Status LED indicator flashes with ON/OFF rapid pulsing
Trip out temperature: +85ºC ±1ºC
Phase loss detection: Phase loss or Fuse failure orange and red LEDs flash alternately
Status LED Fault condition: Status LED indicator flashes ON/OFF continuously at 1.5 second intervals
Sensor loss detection: Status LED indicator flashes ON/OFF continuously in equal intervals
Power cable terminations: Supply, Load & Earth 35mm² rising clamp terminal block
Terminal torque settings: 3.2Nm min (35mm²) Power terminals only
Signal cable terminations: Remote supply Auxiliary alarm (relay) 2.5mm² rising clamp terminal block
Control signal 2.5mm² rising clamp terminal block
Environmental Protection: IP20
Fusing 80kVAR: 160EET (160A) High-Speed Semiconductor type fuse, or equivalent
Fusing 100kVAR: 200EET (200A) High-Speed Semiconductor type fuse, or equivalent
Working temperature: +65°C (maximum operational)
Dimensions: 270 x 250 x 130mm
Fixing centres: 4 x 4.5mm-clear keyhole slots on fixing centres 227 x 200mm
Weight: 5.6kg
RS Product Codes
919-6232 PFC2 80kVAR
919-6236 PFC2 100kVAR
Warning
Metal parts, in particular the case may get very hot when the unit is fully operational.
