These banks are pre-wired, factory assembled and shipped ready for installation. Banks are fixed or switch type and utilize all-film, single phase capacitors connected for three-phase operation.

This is an ideal solution when physical space for a capacitor banks is limited.

Power Survey “Pad Mount” capacitor banks are designed for application within utility distribution systems and areas that are accessible to the public.  These capacitor banks have a low profile, are compact and are usually painted green to blend in with their surroundings (outside environments).

Power Survey Zero Voltage Crossing (ZVC) capacitor bank is a state-of-the-art microprocessor based control.  The purpose of the ZVC system is to virtually eliminate capacitor energizing transients by independently energizing each phase of the capacitor bank coincident with the occurrence of the phase’s zero system voltage reference point.

The expected benefits include:

• Increased “power quality” by utilizing capacitor switching with significantly reduced voltage spikes which are a nuisance to sensitive equipment such as computers and adjustable speed drives.
• Increased capacitor and switch life.
• Reduction of induced voltages into the low voltage control wiring.
• Reduction of station ground transients and reduction of distribution ground transients.
