The control bandwidth can be increased to 0.040 or decreased to 0.000. Control bandwidth increase 
may especially be useful in systems with large control range – avoiding uselessly precise control on 
high loads reduces the number of control interventions which results in longer contactor service life. If 
the parameter values is decreased to 0, the control bandwidth corresponds to value C/k

min

 (constant, 

not widening). 

Note: On low loads, the control bandwidth is “bent” (zone A) to prevent undesired overcompensation 
(the illustration is a simplification). 

If the target power factor (parameter 01/07) is specified in degrees as phase shift angle, the bandwidth 
on high loads is also displayed in degrees. 

4.1.6  Parameter 05/11 – Offset Power 

These parameters are meaningful when 

offset control

  is activated only (see parameter 63). Unless 

this control mode is active, they do not appear. 

The parameters specify 

nominal value of the offset (three-phase) reactive power

 for metering rate 1 

(parameter 05), respectively for metering rate 2 (parameter 11). Like the section powers in parameter 
25, their values in kvars correspond to nominal three-phase power (i.e. at voltage corresponding to the 
preset compensation system nominal voltage U

NOM

 in parameter 18 ). The actual value of the offset 

power is, as well as for capacitor and choke powers, dependent on the actual network voltage. 

The value is entered in the same manner as compensation section powers – capacitive offset power 
as positive and inductive offset power as negative.
