Application
BK batteries are designed for reactive power compensation in low-voltage networks. The main consumers are industrial plants and enterprises. The high cost of electricity has forced consumers to introduce solutions that provide real savings.
Using BK solutions, we are able to reduce the value of reactive power in an easy and non-invasive way. By using a capacitor battery, we can reduce reactive power of an inductive nature generated, for example, by a motor. Thanks to the use of modern regulators, the battery automatically regulates the power of capacitors, in order to maintain the correct cos fi.
Equipment
Enclosure
Thermosetting plastic
The housing is made of SMC plastic with IP 44 or 54. In the II protection class, with a flammability class from HB to V0, in RAL 7035 color, with the possibility of additional varnishing to provide temporary resistance to environmental effects and UV radiation.
Aluminum OU-1/OU-2 or Steel OU-1/OU-2
Housing made of aluminum sheet (joining by welding or riveting). Powder coated in any color. Dimensions adapted to the type, amount of equipment and individual customer needs. The housing has a high resistance to degradation, environmental impact and UV radiation.
The housing is made in protection class I or II. Class II protection is achieved by applying an additional insulation layer, permanently lined on the inner and outer surfaces. The thickness of the layer ensures the proper degree of insulation.
Ventilation allows constant air flow through the use of a ventilation labyrinth, while eliminating the ingress of dirt and the accumulation of water and moisture. Doors having internal hinges with anti-burglary catch and multi-point locking, basquil lock lockable with padlock or system cylinder.
Mounting elements
- Mounting profiles – steel, hole-punched, mounted to the housing structure;
- Mounting plate – made of plastic or galvanized steel, mounted on vertical mounting profiles made of galvanized sheet metal under the current track insulators;
- Cable holders with mounting bar;
- Masking plates – made of plastic plates or metal sheets, mounted to the housing structure.
Equipment
- Power capacitors – dry gas-filled with grading in accordance with the results, obtained from measurements or technical documentation;
- Capacitor protection – fuse disconnects or individually selected circuit breakers;
- Breaker – responsible for switching off all capacitors;
