REACTIVE POWER COMPENSATION

Reactive energy  is  produced in electrical installations with industrial machinery, fluorescent lights or all those devices that require a coil for their function  (for example,  those that work with motors or transformers).

Unlike active energy, which is completely transformed into work or heat and is measured in kWh, reactive energy:

• – It is not consumed or used for heating.
• – It is measured in kVArh (kilo volt-ampere reactive hour)

When the reactive energy produced by the machinery and equipment of an installation exceeds the parameters established by the regulations, it must be paid on the invoice. Pymes and large companies will almost certainly have reactive energy since they have industrial machinery that generates it during their work. To avoid these charges, it is necessary to neutralize or compensate excess reactive energy.

The solution to compensate the reactive energy present in a network is installing a capacitor bank which will reduce 100% of the reactive energy demand. In addition to this, it facilitates the stabilization of the electrical supply by reducing losses and improving its quality, while optimizing the function of the electrical installation.

At Proimsa Nova we offer a free study for the precise sizing of the capacitor bank for each specific case. You can acquire your capacitor bank as property or through a renting modality. In case of purchase with financing, as many years of warranty may be included in the battery as years the product is financed.

If you contact us, we will  be glad to offer you advice and the solution that best meets your needs.
