Thyristor-switched capacitor banks

Thyristor-switched capacitor banks for power factor compensation of fast varying loads

The Hitachi Energy's Dynacomp low-voltage thyristor-switched capacitor banks are used for ultra-rapid transient free power factor compensation due to fast varying or large low-voltage connected loads, giving additional benefits of transient-free compensation and voltage dip minimization. With Hitachi Energy's Dynacomp technology large capacitor steps can be connected to the network very fast. By using a step-up transformer the Dynacomp can be used for capacitive compensation in medium-voltage installations too.

Applications

The Dynacomp low-voltage thyristor-switched capacitor banks can be used in any applications requiring short response times, large number of operations, transient free switching or large amount of reactive power. For example:

  • Spot welding machines
  • Rolling mills and big presses with fast switching loads
  • Cranes
  • Lifts
  • Rubber mixer
  • Saw mills and tunnel drills which have very high switching rates
