Key Features
- Total capacitive capacity of 3 kVAR.
- Load brought in through multiple independent steps.
- Self-healing metallised polypropylene (MPP) capacitors.
- Integrated bleed resistors discharge the capacitors automatically.
- Rated for 50/60 Hz operation.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Reactive capacity | 3 kVAR total |
| Load type | Capacitive (current leads voltage) |
| Frequency | 50/60 Hz |
| Capacitors | Self-healing metallised polypropylene (MPP) |
| Discharge | Integrated bleed resistors |
| Load steps | Multiple independent steps |
How It Is Used
Capacitor steps are switched across an AC supply or in parallel with an inductive load. With each step the reactive current moves ahead of the voltage, so students can compensate a lagging industrial-type load and observe the effect of phase advance on the network.
