Solution
20
The Varset system includes a bank of 200 kvar capacitors,
which are automatically switched on or off depending on
the power factor detected. A current detector measures
consumption.
The system guarantees a power factor greater than 0.92,
regardless of load, raising the actual consumption limit to
230 kW (250 x 0.92=230 kW), or 55kW of available energy.

Example:
With a utility contract for 250 kVA with an average power factor
of 0.7, penalties are charged for consumption over 175 kW
(175 ÷ 0.7 = 250 kVA).

For the user
The solution automatically regulates power factor correction
according to load fluctuations. The resulting power factor, close
to 1, frees up additional available power, allowing you to add on
to your installation. The system is built around a Varlogic power
factor controller, which is also available in a Modbus-based
communicating version.
Reduce energy consumption
For
professionals
I plan to upgrade my electrical installation
to meet the new standards. I want to take
advantage of the opportunity to reduce my
electricity bills and boost the available power
without switching to a new utility contract.
Regulate power factor automatically
by using a Varset reactive energy
compensator
