Capacitor compensation cabinets can effectively control and compensate electrical energy in practical circuit applications. But in the capacitor compensation cabinet, power capacitors play a very important role.
With the rapid development of various new energy sources, in order to fully utilize these power resource, power capacitors become an increasingly import role in all kinds of electrical distribution system.
Firstly, power capacitors can reduce the reactive power of the system. In the AC power system, reactive power is one of the most concerning issues, as it does not do power but occupies the capacity of the system, affecting its stability and operational efficiency. Hence, it is effective to get reactive power compensation after we assemble a series of power capacitor into an electrical switchboard or a UL 891 certified switchboard.
Secondly, the power capacitors in the capacitor compensation cabinet can reduce the voltage loss of the system. During the process of power transmission, electrical equipment such as power cables and power transformers can cause voltage loss, especially in areas far from the power source. The power capacitor in the capacitor compensation cabinet can provide reactive power compensation and adjust voltage.
In addition, the power capacitors in the capacitor compensation cabinet can also improve the harmonic problem of the system. Harmonics are one of the unavoidable problems in the power system, which can lead to voltage distortion in the power grid and equipment damage. The power capacitors in the capacitor compensation cabinet can absorb and suppress harmonic currents in the system.
And also , it can also improve the power quality in a certain power system. Being able to compensate and correct these quality issues can guarantee power supply.
Based on above analysis, it is easy to see that, Power capacitors play an important role in these electrical switchboard, where can reduce reactive power and voltage losses of the power system, avoid harmonic problems and enhance power quality of the system. Therefore, when designing and selecting capacitor compensation cabinets, it is necessary to consider the installation and use of power capacitors.
