  3. VARPACT : Energy EfficiencyGive Oxygen to your electrical network • Power Factor Correction and Filtering means energy savings : it allows to use your transformer (installation) at its maximum efficiency and to stop the system losses : • Power Factor Correction and Filtering decreases voltage drops, avoids the overload of the network, and allows the diminution of harmonics so that you will not have to overrate your installation. • Power Factor Correction means cost savings : it allows to erase your reactive power invoice if the utilities of your country is applying penalties €

  4. VARPACT : Energy EfficiencyGive Oxygen to your electrical network • This page has to be adapted regarding each country(the part in blue) • Example of an European country where there are penalties : • the rule is cos(φ) > 0,9 • if cos(φ) < 0,9 the company will be charged for reactive power. The cost savings, thanks to a power factor correction installation, will be :

  16. VARPACT : technical specificationsGive the right specifications • Losses : • Classic : • without bus bars : < 1,9 W / kvar (maximum current) • with bus bars : < 2 W / kvar (maximum current) • Comfort • without bus bars : < 2,3 W / kvar (maximum current) • with bus bars : < 2,4 W / kvar (maximum current) • Harmony : • with or without bus bars : < 8 W / kvar (maximum current) • Protection level : front face direct contact protection device • Colour : RAL 7016

  17. VARPACT : installationGive the right specifications • VARPACT can be installed in all the following type of banks : • Prisma, Prisma Plus • Universal • Horizontal mounting in functional or universal bank, depth D = 400 or 500 mm : • in cubicle (width W=600 mm), using fastening crosspieces • in cubicle (width W=650, 700, 800 mm), using fastening crosspieces and extension pieces • Vertical fastening every 300 mm (5 modules maximum) directly to cubicles uprights using sliding crosspieces or to intermediate upright support. • Control circuit power supply : 230V, 50 Hz

  18. VARPACT : installationGive the right specifications • Installation of modules in the cubicle : • Varpact with bus bars : • Varpact without bus bars :

  19. VARPACT : Give compliance with standards • International standards IEC • IEC 60439 - 1 • IEC 61921 • European standards • EN 60439 - 1

  20. VARPACT : Give simplicity to the Panel Builders • VARPACT modules allow to assemble a power factor correction cubicle quickly and easily : • Connection points are decreased • Bus bars option --> Easier installation (connection) • Logistic : 1 unique product to order instead of many products (capacitors, wires, contactors, protection…) • You don ’t need to have an engineering department to calculate the right components to use (wires size…) • Fastening crosspieces to install VARPACT in the cubicle • VARPACT is tested at 100% inside the manufacturing plant

  21. VARPACT : Give peace of mind to End Users • Life duration of VARPACT is 15 years (130 000 hours) • The modules are tested at 100% in the manufacturing plant (following IEC standards). • Decrease of hot points on the module, and decrease of the temperature inside cubicles compare to P400 modules. • Losses reduction = less overheating = more power inside 1 cubicle : • 600 kvar / column for the Classic range (450 kvar in the past) • 450 kvar / column for the Comfort range (405 kvar in the past) • 250 kvar / column for the Harmony range (like in the past)

  22. VARPACT : Give peace of mind to End Users Insulation reinforced on VARPACT • External : insulation reinforced • All the insulation distances are 2 times bigger than necessary for the using voltage of products (following IEC 664-1 standards) : it erase all the risks to have local insulation losses. • Protection against direct contact thanks to the protection covers. • Internal : insulation of internal wires (inside the module) have been reinforced • Wires have a high insulation withstand (Ui=1000V) • Temperature conditions are much lower than the using limits • All risks of contacts between wires and active part are eliminated.

  23. VARPACT : Give peace of mind to End Users • No maintenance during the first 5 years • After 5 years, we advise you to measure the capacitance value of VARPACT to keep the maximum efficiency for your installation. • No corrosion thanks to the plastic envelop of the VARPLUS² capacitors. • Safety of the operator during the maintenance operation thanks to the internal discharge resistor. • Protection against direct contacts during the maintenance thanks to the protection plate.

  24. VARPACT : Give safety to the End Users • Using of the new VARPLUS² technology : • A new production line fully automated especially designed for VARPLUS² • Mechanical resistance of the enclosure has multiplied by 2 • High quality protection system : VARPACT is the one to use this technology, allowing to prevent 100% of the eventual defaults. Automatic controls at each step of the production Robots for high quality

  25. VARPLUS² : protection systemGive safety to End Users • Against internal defaults (with a low current), thanks to the overpressure system • Against external defaults (with high current), thanks to the HRC fuse • The fuse protects against high current faults > I fuse • It operates for high current short time faults • Dielectric losses its self healing properties • Gas pressure increases slightly and reaches the below. • The below rise • The metallic disc short circuits the terminals across the fuse. • The faulty capacitor is out of service.

  26. VARPACT : Give involvement to the environment • The consumed energy has been decreased compare to the P400 modules : • P400 standard = 2,5 Watt/kvar • VARPACT Classic : • < 1,9 Watt/kvar (without bus bars) • < 2,3 Watt/kvar (with bus bars) • VARPACT Comfort : • < 2 Watt/kvar (without bus bars) • < 2,4 Watt/kvar (with bus bars) • VARPLUS² used inside VARPACT is ROHS compliant (Restriction Of Hazardous Substances). It means that VARPLUS² doesn’t contain any substances with concentrations exceeding the limits fixed by the ROHS Organism. • Involvement to the environment (ISO 14001) : • VARPACT is a dry technology : free of liquids.

  27. VARPACT : Give a fully compatibility with P400 modules • Retrofit kits exist. It allows to replace former modules by VARPACT in the following case : • Retrofit kit to replace a P400 module by a VARPACT module inside a Prisma or Prisma Plus cubicle • Retrofit kit to replace a P400 SAH module by a VARPACT module inside a Prisma or Prisma Plus cubicle • Retrofit kit to replace a P400 module by a VARPACT module inside a Rectimat2

  28. VARPACT : Give you many benefits • Give you more Energy Efficiency • Give you more Simplicity • Give you more Safety • Give you more Environment

  29. VARPACT :Give Oxygen to your electrical network • VARPLUS² will give to your electrical installation, its maximum energy efficiency : • To erase expense on reactive power • Higher transmission capacities for effective power • Environment involvement thanks to a lower electrical consumption • Improvement of power quality • Reducing the operating costs • The installation of VARPLUS² capacitors means : • a static system, don’t need maintenance • Life duration of 15 years • Fast Return on Investment (average time 2 years)
