BMT
The range of BMT capacitor banks type capacitor banks offers
various solutions for industrial power factor correction thanks to the many combinations that can be made:
• small and high powers;
• working voltages greater than 24 kV obtained with
overlapping frame structures (see the following paragraphs);
• indoor and outdoor installations;
• constructions on fully open structures (IP rating 00) or in
special boxes (for powers up to 14.4 Mvar-24 kV also with
degree of protection IP 54);
• differentlevels of insulation;
• operation under harsh working and environmental conditions;
• making filters for harmonics;
• special userrequirements.
Description
In addition,these capacitors banks offer several advantages:
• easy installation operations thanks to the complete line of accessories offered;
• optimization ofthe installation thanks to the systems fitted for connections to the various systems;
• simplification ofthe transport and handling operations thanks to the construction in compact and versatile structures;
• easy maintenance operations;
• different possibilities of making the frames, including hot galvanized steel or stainless steel frames (for corrosive environments).
These banks are composed of a number of single-phase capacitors that are assembled and interconnected in order to obtain greater powerthe connection is normally DELTA with insulated neutral. In addition to the capacitors and frame,the supply normally includes:
• post insulators;
• connection bars;
• protection via transformer and unbalance relay;
• damping reactors.
It is moreover possible to install other accessories and components such as:
• fast discharge devices;
• harmonic block or filter reactors;
• earthing and/or line disconnector switches;
• HRC fuses (for indoors) or expulsion fuses (for outdoors);
• current and voltage transformers and relays for protection against overloading, short-circuiting, etc..
• electromechanical interlock systems for correct bank operation
• systems protecting against contact forthe working personnel;
• exchangers and ventilation systems (for banks in boxes);
• space heater elements (for banks in boxes);
• other accessories on request
