capacitorbankismadeofunpaintedaluminiumorgalvanisedsteelframeandpanels,whichisequippedwith
PROPIVARcapacitors,SF6contactor,HRCfusesanddetuningreactors.
The bank is arranged in delta connection and the HRC fuses insure the protection against capacitor internal
fault.
Several capacitor stages are controlled by a power factor relay to make an automatic power factor correction
system.
