RVC Power Factor Controller

Other Details

• RVC has become synonymous with automatic capacitor bank controller in many markets worldwide thanks to its distinct design, ease of use, reliability and versatile functions.
• Thanks to the user interface upgrade with graphical icons, it is possible to commission the RVC without a manual. A slimmer casing requires less space in the capacitor bank panel.
• The RVC is an easy-to-install, easy to use, smarter power factor con- troller and an ideal companion of your automatic capacitor banks.

Powerful Features

• Common range for a broad network voltages from 100V to 440V.
• Measurement and display of key parameters like voltage, current, power factor, THDV and THDI.
• Fully programmable switching sequence.
• 1A or 5A current input.
• Easy commissioning.
• Complete auto set-up (starting current-C/k, type of switching sequence, phase shift, special connections).
• Easy to use thanks to a user-friendly touchscreen interface and ease of access to parameters for manual setting.
• Highly efficient switching strategy combining integral, direct and circular switching thereby allowing:
• To control the cos in presence of rapidly varying loads,
• To reduce the number of switching,
• To avoid unnecessary intermediary switchings,
• To increase the lifetime of the capacitors and contractors.
• Suitable for hot environments due to maximum ambient temperature rating of 70°C.
• Not affected by harmonics.
• Overvoltage / undervoltage protection and protections against harmonic distortion (THDV).
• Alarm : an alarm contact is opened when any of these conditions are reached:
• The target cos Φ is not reached within 6 minutes after all outputs have been switched on,
• The internal temperature of the RVC rises above 85°C,
• Overvoltage / undervoltage limits are reached,
• The power supply is out of range,
• The THDV exceeds the limits.
