Q: What is a capacitor switch?
A: A capacitor switch is an electrical device used to control the input and removal of a capacitor bank. It plays an important role in the power system.
Q: What is the function of capacitor switch?
A: The main function is to adjust reactive power. When the reactive power is insufficient in the power grid, the switch will put the capacitor in to compensate the reactive power, improve the power factor, improve the power quality, and reduce the line loss. When the reactive power is in excess, the capacitor can be removed.
Q: What should I pay attention to when using capacitor switch?
A: It should be noted that the switching frequency cannot be too high to avoid damage caused by frequent action of the capacitor. At the same time, it is necessary to reasonably choose switching according to the actual situation of the power grid
Sure, this device cannot be upgraded online, but it requires offline firmware version upgrade using a burning device to upgrade more features or fix known bugs. As this device is a customized product, you need to provide us with the device's model number and version number when upgrading. Once we have determined the upgrade plan, we will contact you and provide you with the burning device and firmware upgrade package needed for the upgrade.

Impact of DC Bias in Transformers at Renewable Energy Stations Near UHVDC Grounding ElectrodesImpact of DC Bias in Transformers at Renewable Energy Stations Near UHVDC Grounding ElectrodesWhen the grounding electrode of an Ultra-High-Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) transmission system is located close to a renewable energy power station, the return current flowing through the earth can cause a rise in ground potential around the electrode area. This ground potential rise leads to a shift in the neutral-point potential of nearby power transformers, inducing DC bias (or DC offset) in their01/15/2026 -
