LOW VOLTAGE



​POWER  FACTOR SYSTEMS

kVArCorrect has two main ranges of LV Power Factor Correction, with a number of uniquely designed different systems within them.  Customisation of these systems and designs is endless, with options such as stainless steel cabinetry, isolators, spare trays, Orange X15 colouring, etc.  The design and build quality is reflected in the warranties offered.  Contact us today to discuss your specific requirements!

SmartVAr - the Ultimate in Quality and Endurance

kVArCorrect's flagship range remains our premium product, despite its economic pricetag.  All SmartVAr systems are built using the highest quality capacitors and componentry, rating them to >250,000 hrs.  Generally, these feature KBR capacitors, Rittal cabinetry, kVArCorrect controllers, Benedikt & Jaegar switchgear, rugged capcitor rated contactors, and high quality reactors.  There is often optional MCB protection.  Warranties range from 2 years to 5 years and beyond, and SmartVAr systems are available in almost all of the models listed below.

EcoVAr - the Best in Reliability and Affordability

The EcoVAr range was created specifically for the Australian market, where step sizes tend to be 25kVAr or 50kVAr.  Using many of the same designs available in SmartVAr, EcoVAr systems are built using quality componentry, rating them to 170,000 hrs.  Generally, these feature ELCO capcitors, ACE cabinetry, kVArCorrect controllers, and high quality reactors.  Warranties range from 2 to 3 years and beyond, and EcoVAr systems are available in many of the models listed below.

kVArCorrect Hybrid System

kVArCorrect has long been providing Hybrid Power Factor Correction Systems to get the best of both worlds - the affordability, reliability, maintenance-easy, and simplicity of capacitor based systems, merged with the accuracy and speed of active electronic power factor correction.  However, we are just about to launch a product that will completely revolutionize the market, and change the way we build our Hybrid PFC units.  Check back soon for a Launch Date!

Design Problems

kVArCorrect Optimum System

Picture
The Optimum system is a completely modular, Automatic Power Factor Correction System designed for economic and proven precise control of system power factor, as well as ease of maintenance and repair.  This is for use on commercial and industrial facilities so as to minimise or in most cases, eliminate penalty charges imposed by electricity supply companies for poor power factor.  The entire system is designed to be maintainable with a minimum of system dismantling required to upgrade or replace - trays can be replaced in under 2 minutes, without system shut down!  This is due to kVArCorrect's unique Hot Swappable Rear Bus design, making maintenance, repair, and servicing an absolute breeze.  Careful thought has been applied to air flow requirements and where required, heat shields and air flow deflectors are employed to ensure that cooling air flows where it is actually required, not just where the easiest flow path through a cabinet naturally occurs.  This thermal design is incredibly important in the longevity of a PFC system, and is one reason kVArCorrect is able to provide longer warranties.  This model is readily available in various sizes of SmartVAr, with multiple cabinetry comprising the "Optimum Max".

kVArCorrect Compact System

Picture
The Compact system is a modular Automatic Power Factor Correction System designed for economic and proven precise control of system power factor, in a smaller space.  This is for use on commercial and industrial facilities so as to minimise or in most cases, eliminate penalty charges imposed by electricity supply companies for poor power factor.  All componentry is mounted so as to be maintainable with a minimum of system dismantling required to upgrade or replace - trays can be replaced in under 20 minutes, without total system shutdown!  Careful thought has been applied to air flow requirements and where required, heat shields and air flow deflectors are employed to ensure that cooling air flows where it is actually required, not just where the easiest flow path through a cabinet naturally occurs.  This model is available in both SmartVAr and EcoVAr.

kVArCorrect Classic System

Picture
The Classic system is a gear-plate Automatic Power Factor Correction System designed for economic and proven control of system power factor.  This is for use on commercial and industrial facilities so as to minimise or in most cases, eliminate penalty charges imposed by electricity supply companies for poor power factor.  All componentry is mounted so as to be maintainable with a minimum of system dismantling required to upgrade or replace - steps can be replaced in under 60 minutes!  Careful thought has been applied to air flow requirements and where required, heat shields and air flow deflectors are employed to ensure that cooling air flows where it is actually required, not just where the easiest flow path through a cabinet naturally occurs.  This model comes standard as 175kVAr, and is able to be easily altered to either 125kVAr or 225kVAr by utilising the pre-wired 5th position.  This straight line product is available in SmartVAr.

kVArCorrect Mini System

Picture
The MiniVAr system follows the quality, safety and maintainability of the larger kVArCorrect systems and is intended for application in smaller commercial concerns where harmonic distortion levels are low.  The unit is particularly modest in physical size and cost including installation costs due to it being intended for wall mounting in confined space switch rooms.  Typical applications are fast food restaurants, service stations and other commercial enterprises of this size and business type.  This model is only available in SmartVAr.

kVArCorrect EasyMount

Picture
The kVArCorrect EasyMount is intended for the power factor correction of small single loads where the expense and complexity of a full automatic switchboard is not warranted.  Typical applications are dairy sheds, irrigation pumps, small chiller rooms, individual motors in small enterprises.  These capacitors are characterised by being very easy to fit and not requiring an earth connection because they are entirely plastic and fully insulated.  The EasyMount is a standalone product that does not fall under the SmartVAr or EcoVAr range.
