elastic elements must not be hindered.

 Connecting lines must be flexible leads.

 There must be sufficient space for expansion above the Connections.

4. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
4.1 General
 The power capacitors shall be operable on (480/525 volt: as distribution company
requirement) & 50 Hz and shall meet or comply with industry standards, in particular IEC
60831-1, IEC 60439 and IEC 61557-1. They shall be sited in cool ventilated locations away

(Depending on the distribution company requirement: according to load analysis)

 Capacitors with detuned filtering technique shall be employed to correct power factor while
avoiding the risk of resonance condition. This shall be performed by shifting the resonance

 The reactors shall be selected taking into account the inductance value of the feeding line so
as to get the desired tuning frequency and the current capability high enough for the
harmonic current absorption that can be expected.
 Filter reactors shall be designed to give an inductive voltage drop up to 10% of the system
nominal voltage, thus protecting the capacitors from harmonics.
 The following steps shall be performed to estimate the harmonic content of the system :-
i. The presence of harmonic currents in the main feeder cable of the system without

6.0 POWER FACTOR CONTROLLER (Regulator)

 All capacitor units (except fixed unit) should be controlled by a PFC controller, responsible
for monitoring the reactive and active components of the network through the current and
the voltage path. The capacitor stages shall be switched in and out depending on the
deviations of the actual power factor from the set value as calculated by the controller.
 The controller should be automatically programmed with a LCD display to indicate the
harmonics, current, voltage, frequency, power factor, active and the reactive powers.
