Reactive power compensation system with modular fixed or multistage switched capacitor steps that can compensate to a preset power factor The ABBACUS family of metal enclosed capacitor banks (MECB) are a packaged factory assembled and tested reactive compensation system with modular fixed or switched capacitor steps, which automatically compensate an individual load or of the network to maintain a preset level of power factor (cos phi). The ABBACUS family comprises of a series of metal enclosed capacitor banks that cater to a wide range of applications and requirement for reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering in medium voltage networks. The ABBACUS family is a 'one stop shop' solution with an integrated package of Hitachi Energy's premium range of primary and secondary equipment. The solution combines primary components, and secondary control and protection, within a compact modular enclosure. Available options include: • Inrush, detuning or filter reactors • Switched of fixed • Indoor or outdoor • Aluminum, stainless steel and mild steel enclosures • Automatic or manual control • Cooling or heating options • Unbalance protection • Interlocking • Arc fault mitigation Applications The design of the ABBACUS family allows compensation for both electrical distribution networks, renewables like wind and solar farms and industrial networks in various segments such as mining, metals, pulp and paper, chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, cement, plastics and other heavy industries.
