The capacitor banks are in charge of delivering the reactive power to the system.
necessary to maintain the “POWER FACTOR” within normal ranges, and thus avoid billing surcharges. For this reason it is advisable to maintain these devices, either as an evaluation or as a repair.

It can reduce the useful life of the capacitor bank, since in order to avoid fines with the The maintenance of the capacitor banks must be taken into account, those who are in charge of maintaining the appropriate value within the established parameters for each distributor.

During the service, apart from the cleaning, torquing and lubrication of contacts, the following will be carried outa check on the condition of the equipment:

Function monitoring of contactors
Measurement of the nominal current of the steps
Calculation of capacitor microfarads.
Insulation resistance measurement
Measurement of total bank capacity
Measurement of operating current
Cleaning and tightening of connections
Technical report
Contactor operation.
Revision of electrical protections.
