capacitor bank Block CAPBANK

         functions:

1. Auto configure
2. Manual configure
3. Discharge timer on each step
4. Selectable operating modes
   – Manual operation
   – First In, Last Out (FILO)
   – Balanced, level-out usage of capacitor steps
   – Best fit, finds best match of capacitor step to system kVAR needs
5. Alarms
   – Bad step, indicates blown fuse, capacitor failure
   – Target power factor not achieved
   – High / Low voltage
   – Metering
   – Communication loss
6. PowerMonitor data concentrated into the MicroLogix 1400 controller
7. Phase current, line voltage, frequency, real and reactive power, and power factor

This capacitor bank Block is easily insert in your schematic diagram and connect as you like way.                         The capacitor bank controller is a pre-engineered control system containing a MicroLogix 1400 controller, one or more PowerMonitor 1000 modules, and an optional human-machine interface (HMI). Pre-engineered ladder logic code in the controller gathers real and reactive power data from up to four power feeds (utility feeds and/or generators). The logic operates on the data in standard engineering units of kVAR and kW and minimizes imported and exported reactive power by switching up to 10 steps of capacitance. This strategy controls power factor while reducing the likelihood of voltage surge caused by excessive kVAR export. Up to three additional PowerMonitor 1000 meters to aggregate up to four total feeds.The PanelView Component C600 Touch HMI terminal with Ethernet
communication provides ease of navigation, viewing, and configuration of the capacitor bank controller application.The capacitor bank controller system is supplied as a number of components that you assemble, install, and connect in a suitable enclosure.
