POWER FACTOR CONTROLLER

PFR-X/PFR-M

The power factor controllers of the PFR range calculate the active and
reactive power in the mains from the measured current and voltage. They
also determine if power is being imported or exported.
The controllers identify the output of the capacitor stages installed and
connect or disconnect them in the optimum manner as required by the ac-
tual mains conditions. The controllers consider the frequency of changes in
the reactive load and follow the principle of rotational switching.
The integrated digital display can show the actual power factor, the mains
frequency, the actual tariff, the programmed target power factor, the con-
nected steps. This makes general and specific monitoring of the capaci-
tor bank and its operating conditions possible. In addition to that, PFR-M
offers additional information such as detailed information on harmonics,
THD, operating temperatures, kWh, kvarh. It also offers the option of ope-
ration in two different tariff modes, as well as an optional RS485 modbus,
and/or internal data logger.
The PFR power factor controller is ready for operation on preset default
functions immediately after installation without any modifications or
adjustments.
