EL Control
The PFRMD is a microprocessor controlled automatic power factor regulator, assembled in a 144x144 mm format container for flush mounting (DIN standard 43700). It can operate on three-phase low voltage systems at 220, 380, 415VAC and also on high voltage systems by taking the voltage and current measurement signals from transformers (voltage transformer and current transformer). A version configures for performing single-phase measurements is available. The PFRMD measures permanently the reactive power consumption in the load, and according to the control logic, it can connect or disconnect the required amount of capacitor steps needed to obtain the present coso value by means of a micropricessor-controlled logic.The PFRMD optimizes the use of the capacitor elements in a bank. The steps are rotated in order to obtain in the shortest time, and with the minimum number of operations, any desired combination. The "Top-up" function reduces considerably the number of operations, while the power factor correction is guaranteed. The regulation procedure and alarm management functions are the intelligent type, thanks to the microprocessor and software developed entirely by ELCONTROL.
