Fixed capacitor bank - DSHM

PDF (258k)

Indoor industrial DSHM capacitor assemblies provide power factor correction to industrial power

systems utilizing the new technology of the dry self-healing type DSHI capacitor. A wide range

of kVAR ratings is provided in single equipment for large motor and bulk system correction. The

addition of capacitors makes it possible to achieve reduced power costs, increased system

capacity and improved voltage control. With most utility rate structures, the power factor

influences the billing in some manner. Some rate structures increase the billing if the power

factor falls below a specified level. Others provide a bonus for raising the power factor to

desirable levels. Depending on the system conditions and the local utility rate practices,

capacitor costs can often pay for themselves in less than one year.

Gentec offers 480 V and 600 V fixed capacitor bank in a range from 25 to 200 kVAR. Fuses are

included as a standard, and blown fuses indicators can optionally be installed. Enclosures are

designed to be wall-mounted but can be converted to floor-mounted units when used with the

optional stand.
