Circutor OPTIM 3 P&P-52.5-440 capacitor battery

The Circutor OPTIM 3 P&P-52.5-440 automatic capacitor bank (reference R3L170) is a high-efficiency solution for automatic reactive power compensation in industrial installations with fluctuating loads. Designed to improve the performance of electrical networks and reduce costs associated with reactive power, this bank is ideal for compensating rapid power variations in systems with loads that change in intervals of seconds.

The OPTIM P&P series from Circutor is characterized by its ease of installation and robustness, making it a perfect choice for industrial installations that require reliable and durable reactive compensation. The equipment uses contactors for operation, allowing precise control based on demand, and automatically adjusting compensation according to the system's needs.

This bank has a capacity of 52.5 kvar at 440 V and is designed to operate in 400 V systems. It consists of three steps of capacitors (7.5 + 15 + 30 kvar), allowing for stepped compensation of reactive power, optimizing the performance of the electrical system and avoiding penalties for excessive reactive consumption. This helps to reduce the contracted power and, consequently, the operational costs of the installation.

The model OPTIM 3 P&P-52.5-440 includes a general thermal magnetic circuit breaker, providing integrated protection against overloads and short circuits, ensuring the safety of the equipment and the system as a whole. Additionally, this equipment offers the option to add a manual or automatic switch at the head of the bank, as well as a differential protection, further enhancing safety and facilitating maintenance of the installation.
