Power Factor Controller

Power Factor Controller


Schneider Electric offers a new range of Power Factor Controllers. These controllers alarms and displays the problem occurred on the network or the capacitor bank. The alarm message is maintained on the screen until it is manually removed. If necessary, the capacitor steps are automatically disconnected to protect the equipment. These controllers are available in three different ranges like
RT6 / 8 / 12 (Classic Range): for simple applications. Available in 6, 8 and 12 steps.
NR6 / 12 (Advanced Range): for Universal applications. Available in 6 and 12 steps.
NRC12: for Universal applications. Available in 6 and 12 steps.

General Characteristics:

  • Analyses and provides information on network characteristics
  • Controls the reactive power required to obtain the target power factor
  • Monitors and provides information on equipment status and alarm indication
  • Communicates on the Modbus network (Varlogic NRC12).
