COMAR Condensatori is proud to announce the supply and commissioning of 2 medium voltage automatic power factor correction systems from 3.5Mvar to 11kV. This supply has just been installed at the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex in Petronas, Malaysia.
Thanks to a perfect engineering combination of special medium voltage components, the solution has been integrated into 20-foot containers with IP55 protection degree. This type of solution, in addition to guaranteeing the necessary degree of protection required by the project specifications, has made it possible to transport the equipment by sea without the aid of wooden crates or other packaging, thus reducing the environmental impact and ensuring – at the same time – faster installation.
In fact, the installation in containers allows to reduce commissioning times, as it is possible to position the equipment directly on the base when it arrives on site, as well as the rental costs of the lifting equipment necessary for unloading and positioning.
Each of the two power factor correction systems installed is composed of three banks of capacitors, equipped with blocking reactors, with a total power of 3.5Mvar at a network voltage of 11kV. Furthermore, the two devices can operate in a master / slave configuration, as the customer has asked to be able to guarantee a certain continuity of service even in the event of of an exchange failure ofthe utility power lines.
Although COMAR is mainly known for low voltage power factor correction equipment, for over 6 years it has also been designing and manufacturing medium voltage solutions, up to 24kV. The engineering expertise, combined
with the company’s historical flexibility, allows COMAR to develop turnkey solutions for EPC and end customers, appreciated all overthe world
