    REACTIVE POWER MANAGER-RPM 14

    Reactive Power Manager Relay (Model RPM-14) is designed for automatic control of capacitor banks in 3
    phase 4 wire LT distribution systems. The relay maintains the system power factor at a set value, under
    fluctuating load conditions, by connecting or disconnecting capacitor banks to the 415V bus. The relay
    employs state of the art micro controller design for measurement of reactive power compensation required,
    system power factor, voltage and current. A specially formulated optimization program for capacitor bank
    switching ensures accurate power factor control at the set point and hunt free operation.

    Features:
    1.System power factor maintenance at set value under
    load fluctuating conditions.
    2.Micro controller design for measuring reactive power
    compensation required
    3. Automatic control of 14 capacitor banks
