About This Product
A switched capacitor bank lets students add capacitive reactive load to a three-phase circuit one step at a time and watch the power factor change. It is used in electrical machines and power systems laboratories for power factor correction, VAR compensation and harmonic studies. Educational Instrument can dispatch the Loading Capacitor 3KVAR Bank to laboratories in Gambia, Cambodia, Oman, Equatorial Guinea, Albania and Lithuania.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the load switched on the Loading Capacitor 3KVAR Bank?
The 3.0 kVAR total is divided into 6 equal steps of 0.5 kVAR, so capacitive load can be added in increments.
