Capacitors QCap
Ease of use has been one of the main considerations
during the QCap design stage. Special efforts had
been put to facilitate our customer’s QCap selection
process regardless of plain or detuned applications.
Reactors
The main purpose of the detuned reactor for a ca-
pacitor is to prevent capacitor damages due to har-
monic resonance. High linearity, low losses, low
noise and ABB proprietary harmonic spectrum en-
sure ABB reactor optimal performance for your de-
tuned capacitor bank.

Note: For plain capacitor banks, while not using UA-RA type contactor, it is usual to make cable turns (around 5 turns with 10cm diameter) in order to limit the Inrush current.
The contactor informed is the minimum size needed to build the step. It is possible to use higher ratings as well.
