In the field of power factor correction systems, Ortea, thanks to its historic ICAR brand, stands out not only for its ability to customize solutions according to customer needs, but also for the high quality of the products offered, which is also a distinctive feature of the MICROmatic (10-65kvar) range of power factor correction systems.
SMALL SIZE POWER FACTOR CORRECTION SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
These products, designed for large-scale distribution, are ideal for various fields of application, including small production companies such as mechanical workshops, retail or service companies. Many facilities in these fields of application have chosen these solutions to solve the problem of excessive reactive power that caused low power quality of the installation and the associated additional costs.
THE BENEFITS OF A POWER FACTOR CORRECTION SYSTEM
Including a power factor correction system in the electrical installation offers a number of benefits, such as:
- Improving power quality by reducing voltage drops and mitigating the risk of resonances that cause annoying current distortions.
- Increasing energy efficiency by reducing the inductive currents required by loads that adversely affect both the user’s electrical system and the power grid as a whole.
- Reduce the economic impact by allowing the elimination of penalties in the bill, the reduction of power component sizes and the increase of their lifetime.
- To comply with the provisions of the Electricity Authorities, which often apply financial penalties to companies that have a power factor below the minimum permitted limit (generally 0.95).
DISTINGUISHING TECHNICAL FEATURES OF SMALL SIZE POWER FACTOR CORRECTION SYSTEMS ICAR BY ORTEA
- The reactive power controller mounted on MICROmatic models is equipped with an LCD display where you can read voltage, current, power factor, internal cabinet temperature, THDI%, THDV% and alarm messages. In this way, each of our devices provides all the information needed to know the status of the system.
- The components of our equipment are 90% manufactured in Italy, a distinguishing feature from most of our competitors.
- Our equipment is assembled and tested in Italy.
- The automatic forced ventilation system, with which our equipment is provided, avoids the need for more expensive reinforced capacitors.
- The wiring and finishes inside our machines follow the highest quality standards.
