MV Metal Enclosed Capacitor Banks MMECB

Smart solution for reactive power compensation configured either as a fixed or switched capacitor ​bank

The MMECB combines primary components, and secondary control and protection, within a compact modular enclosure. The system can be either configured as a fixed or switched capacitor bank. The switched bank consists of single or multiple steps, automatically controlled to improve power factor.
 

Applications

The design of the MMECB provides compensation for both electrical distribution utilities and large industrial power users including mining, pulp and paper, chemical, petrochemical, wind farms, plastics and heavy industries, chips and semiconductors, data center and water treatment.
