The range of BMT type capacitor banks offers various solutions for industrial power factor correction thanks to the many combinations that can be made:
small and high powers;
working voltages greater than 24 kV obtained with overlapping frame structures (see the following paragraphs);
indoor and outdoor installations;
constructions on fully open structures (IP rating 00) or in special boxes (for powers up
to 14.4 Mvar-24 kV also with degree of protection IP 54);
different levels of insulation;
operation under harsh working and environmental conditions;
making filters for harmonics;
special user requirements.
In addition, the BMT type capacitors banks offer several advantages:
easy installation operations thanks to the complete line of accessories offered;
optimization of the installation thanks to the systems fitted for connections to the various systems;
simplification of the transport and handling operations thanks to the construction in compact and versatile structures;
easy maintenance operations;
different possibilities of making the frames, including hot galvanized steel or stainless steel frames (for especially corrosive environments).
The BMT banks are composed of a number of single-phase capacitors that are assembled and interconnected in order to obtain greater power; the connection is normally delta with insulated neutral.ì
In addition to the capacitors and frame, the supply normally includes:
post insulators (see following paragraph);
connection bars;
protection via transformer and unbalance relay;
damping reactors.
