Rapidus Power Factor Controller

• Moduler design
• No connector cables
• No fixing screws
• State of the art technology

Easy mounting on panels

connection to system
 Dynamic Capacitor Monitoring
• DCM is a supreme function in Rapidus which enables the user to make pro-active maintenance for compensation cabinets.
• DCM tracks the real time KVAR values of each capacitor and uses the measured KVAR value in compensation calculations.
• If a contactor is broken or a capacitor is out of order, DCM will detect it within 1 or 2 days* and activate the alarm for user.
• DCM has 3,4% accuracy.

* This information is valid for 3 shift operating facilities.

 Capacitor/Reactor---1P/3P
• Rapidus can be connected to either single or three phase capacitors or reactors.
• Rapidus can be used in Data Centers or Mining Areas where the load is frequently capacitive.
• Rapidus can be used with a selection of capacitors and reactors in single or three phase connections.

Advanced Learning Function

• Rapidus can learn the connections and capacitor
or reactor values.
• If there is a fault in the CT or VT connections,
Rapidus detects the fault and corrects it.
It shows the fault on the screen.

Advanced Learning Function

Rapidus detects the wrong connections after learning mode is activated.

Connections are displayed on the screen. Rapidus don't take misconnections into consideration and
operates as if all connections are properly made as shown in Fig A.
Rapidus learns all step values regardless they are capacitor or reactor.
 Rapidus = PFC + Energy Analyzer
• In standart compensation cabinets, there are always a multimeter or analyzer to be associated with a power factor controller.
Rapidus, as a two-in-one device meets both requirements of the industry.
• User can reduce the cost of analyzer, wiring and labor by choosing Rapidus.

Saving On
• Extra multimeter / analyzer cost
• Wiring cost
• Labor cost

Rapidus as an Energy Analyzer

Rapidus can measure and monitor the following parameters :

• All electrical parameters

• Min, Max and Average Values for
Hour, Day and Month
• Harmonics upto 51 st
• Demand
• Phasor Diagram

Data Logging
• Rapidus measures 68 different energy parameters.
• Rapidus logs 80 days hourly
240 days daily
36 months monthly real time measurements of 68 parameters.
• Rapidus logs demand values for P. Q, S, I
• Rapidus logs 50 recent alarms with time stamp.
• 1 MB Memory
 100 A

Surge Withstand 100 A/1 sec 5A

1 sec.
Rapidus current inputs can withstand surges upto 100 A for 1 second.

In case of a current rise in the secondary winding of the current

transformer, current inputs of the PFC should withstand to these peak
values. If not, current transformer may explode due to open circuit in the
secondary winding.

This may result with shutdown of the compensation system and

compensation penalty for the end-user.
