Benefits

  • Superior Handling of Unbalanced Loads — 3 CT inputs enable phase-wise monitoring and individual correction, ensuring accurate power factor control in unbalanced systems.
  • Harmonics Monitoring and Management — Measures individual harmonics up to the 31st order, helping identify and mitigate distortion for better power quality and equipment protection.
  • Hunt-Free and Stable Operation — Advanced optimization algorithms provide precise control at the target setpoint, preventing unnecessary capacitor switching and extending component lifespan.
  • Versatility for Modern Applications — Supports 2-quadrant (conventional) or 4-quadrant operation, ideal for sites with or without solar integration, handling power export scenarios effectively.
  • Scalability and Integration — Master-slave cascading for panels with more than 16 steps, plus inbuilt MODBUS RS-485 communication for seamless SCADA/BMS integration and remote monitoring.
