A "cap bank," or capacitor bank, is a crucial component in power factor correction systems. Capacitor banks help improve this by compensating for reactive power, thus optimizing power factor and enhancing overall electrical system efficiency.
Capacitor banks from Sinava are designed for high reliability and ease of maintenance. Capacitor Banks come in various configurations and ratings, suitable for different industry needs. Capacitor Banks are highly customizable and can integrate seamlessly into existing power distribution systems.
Sinava's Capacitor Bank series is a true engineered-to-order product custom-tailored to meet specific applications. These banks are available in single-step and multi-step configurations with a full range of accessories that can easily be incorporated into the system solution. Features include protection and control equipment, instrument transformers, control power transformers, isolating and grounding switches, switching devices/circuit breakers, interlocks, surge arresters, reactors, fusing (externally or internally fused), discharge coils, temperature and condensation control equipment, and fire protection.
A capacitor bank combines the strength of various capacitors to improve the storage capacity of an electrical system. The capacitor consists of two conductive plates, either made of aluminum or tantalum. These plates are separated by a dielectric material such as ceramic, glass, or treated paper. The main function of a capacitor is to store electrical energy between the plates in the electrostatic field.
The capacitance, or the amount of charge a plate can store, will depend on various factors, including the surface area of the plates, the distance between the plates, and the properties of the dielectric material.
When a capacitor is connected to a power source, electrons are collected on the plate that is connected to the negative terminal, and this creates a dense electrostatic field. Once the electrostatic field is created, the capacitors will retain their charge even if they are disconnected from the source of energy, making them a temporary energy reservoir.
The operation of a capacitor bank revolves around reactive power compensation and power factor correction. The primary function is to manage the reactive power in electrical systems, which is essential for maintaining voltage levels and ensuring efficient power delivery.
Reactive power is the power that oscillates between the source and load, primarily due to inductive loads like motors and transformers. Capacitor banks provide leading reactive power, effectively canceling out the lagging reactive power, thereby improving the overall power factor of the system.
Capacitor banks find extensive use across various industries:
Power Distribution: Utilized in substations to enhance voltage stability and reduce losses.
Capacitor Bank for Industrial Use: Employed in manufacturing plants to maintain power quality and improve efficiency.
Commercial Facilities: These are used in commercial buildings to optimize energy consumption and lower utility costs.
