CONFIGURABLE PARAMETERS 

In  order  to  adapt  the  regulator  to  the  loads,  certain  parameters  of  the 

REG-6S-100  and  REG-12S-100

 

must  be  set-up.  The  programmable  parameters,  the  required  settings  and  the  set-up  procedure  are 
explained here below. See also paragraph 3.5.2 to see how to select the different menu options. 

The configurable parameters are listed and shortly explained below. 

5.1 

Target 

cosφ 

To set-up this parameter, use the keys 

 until the cursor   points to the option 

, then push  

 

The  parameter  allows  the  setting  of  the  desired  PF  in  the  installation.  The  regulator  will  control  the 
connection  of  the  necessary  number  of  capacitors  to  get  the  maximum  approach  to  the  target  value. 
Since the regulation is in a stepwise mode, the regulator will add a new step when the demanded power 
is at least 70% of the lower available step power and will remove a step when the excess is also a 70% of 
the lower available step power. The 

cosφ adjustment range is from 0,85 inductive to 0,95 capacitive. 

5.2 

Smaller available capacitor step 

To set-up this parameter, use the keys 

 until the cursor   points to the option 

, then push  

 

This  parameter,  named  C/K,    indicates  the  reactive  current  supplied  by  the  smaller  capacitor  step, 
measured at the secondary side of the current transformer (CT). Therefore, the setting value depends on 
the  power  of  the  smaller  capacitor  step,  on  the  CT  ratio  and  on  the  supply  voltage. Table  5.1  gives  the 
setting  values  of  C/K  for  a  400  V  phase  to  phase  supply  for  different  CT  ratios  and  different  values  of 
smaller  capacitor  step  (kvar).  For  conditions  other  than  those  given  in  table  5.1,  the  paragraph  5.13 
shows a simple calculation to obtain the C/K value. See also foot NOTE

(*) NOTE: For supply voltages other than 400 V the C/K factor obtained from the table must be multiplied 
by the ratio (400 / V

supply

IMPORTANT! : 

If  C/K  is  adjusted  too  low  the  system  will  connect  and  disconnect  steps  with  a  lower  threshold  and 
therefore the number of operations to control the average PF will be higher. 

If  C/K  is  adjusted  slightly  above  the  required  value  (10%)  the  system  will  react  with  higher  threshold 
values  and  therefore  the  number  of  operations  to  control  the  average  PF  will  be  lower.  Wear  of  PF 
compensation is also lower.
