Controllix Low Voltage Capacitor Banks provide a cost-effective, user friendly, reliable solution for power factor correction. They are a more efficient alternative to individual motor capacitors, especially in large industrial facilities.
The new generation of low voltage capacitors Nokian Capacitors has manufactured self healing dry typed low voltage capacitors since 1980. Today Nokian Capacitors manufactures low voltage units having rated voltages from 200V to 1000V for both frequencies 50Hz and 60Hz.
When designing a capacitor bank, many factors must be taken into consideration: rated voltage, kvar needs, system protection and communications, footprint and more. These factors govern the selection of the capacitor units to be used, along with proper grouping of these units.
Abstract: The use of switched capacitor banks is very important in distribution and transmission systems for power factor and voltage regulation applications. This white paper discusses the implementation of a voltage control switch capacitor scheme by means of the user-defined dynamic modeling (UDM) tools in ETAP.
Capacitor banks require a means of unbalance protection to avoid overvoltage conditions, which would lead to cascading failures and possible tank ruptures. Figure 7. Bank connection at bank, unit and element levels. The primary protection method uses fusing.
This type of compensation method demands capacitor banks to have wide range of power regulation, which can be determined by 24h measurements at the place of installation of the circuit breaker. What’s good in this solution // But, the downsides are : The losses in the cables (RI 2) are not reduced.

Reducing Losses Through Power Factor Correction
Low Voltage Capacitor Banks – Fixed Individual power factor correction is achieved by connecting capacitors directly to the terminals of motors, transformers and other loads. In this manner the network avoids distributing the reactive power absorbed by load.
How to pick voltage rating for capacitors
Depending on the dielectric, ceramic capacitors derate based on the DC voltage applied. The higher the voltage rating compared to the applied DC voltage, the less they derate. So you will have more effective capacitance with the 20V rated part than the 6.3V rated part. This does not apply to (polymer) tantalums, film caps, or electrolytics.
