FAQ
What is a reactive power compensation controller and how does it work?
A reactive power compensation controller is an intelligent device that automatically monitors the power factor in electrical distribution systems. The JKW-16 controller continuously measures reactive power levels and switches capacitor banks on or off as needed. When the system detects excessive reactive current, it activates appropriate capacitors to compensate. This automatic adjustment maintains optimal power factor without manual operation, ensuring efficient energy use throughout your facility.
How does a reactive power compensation controller improve transformer efficiency?
Transformers must handle both active and reactive power flowing through the system. When reactive current is high, transformers work harder and generate more heat, reducing their effective capacity. The reactive power compensation controller reduces this burden by supplying reactive power locally through capacitor banks. With less reactive current flowing through the transformer, it operates cooler, lasts longer, and delivers more useful power to your loads.
What economic benefits can I expect from installing a reactive power compensation controller?
Installing a reactive power compensation controller delivers multiple financial advantages. First, reduced line losses lower your overall energy consumption. Second, improved power factor often eliminates utility penalty charges for poor power factor. Third, enhanced voltage quality decreases equipment failures and maintenance costs. Most facilities see return on investment within one to two years, with ongoing savings continuing throughout the controller’s operational life.
How does the JKW-16 reactive power compensation controller ensure voltage quality?
The JKW-16 reactive power compensation controller maintains stable voltage by precisely managing reactive power flow in real time. Voltage drops typically occur when reactive current travels long distances through distribution lines. By compensating reactive power locally, the controller prevents these voltage fluctuations. The result is consistent, high-quality voltage that protects sensitive equipment, reduces production interruptions, and extends the lifespan of all connected electrical devices.
