Figure 3: Controller

The controller performs two major functions:

C

ONTROL

The control function of the controller constantly samples the currents and voltages and analyses the precise
capacitor groups required to obtain an accurate power factor or kVAr. This function uses a unique real-time
load variation analysis for accurate analysis within approximately 1 millisecond.

In addition, the control function runs system tests to analyze unit condition, provide malfunction indications
and adjust unit operation as required.

The controller generates precise firing pulses for the switching module as required to connect or disconnect
capacitor groups.

M

EASUREMENT

The controller features advanced measurement capabilities, including harmonic analysis and waveforms.

Readings are provided for three sections (Figure 4):



Mains reading as indicated by the

M

symbol, displaying the measurement of the total network including

the compensation system.



Load center reading as indicated by the

L

symbol, displaying the measurement of the load without the

compensation system.



Capacitor system reading as indicated by the

C

symbol, displaying the measurement of the system only.
