When switching the capacitors in the compensation systems with contactors, high switching currents of up to 200xIN occur. This shortens the lives of both the contactors and the capacitors. The capacitive load drivers switch the capacitor voltage and the bus voltage to equalize to prevent high switching currents. In addition, the condenser allows very fast switching without waiting for the discharge time to meet the reactive needs of the fast loads.
In the Smart SVC system, shunt reactors are triggered via thyristors at certain angles, and their forces are settable in a total of 3000 steps, 1000 steps each. Modules used to do this are called inductive load drivers. Smart SVC Inductive Load Drivers are designed to run three monophasic shunt reactors. These reactors, each of which is connected to a separate enclosure, are controlled in such a way that the forces are independent and provide the desired power. Thanks to its designed cooler and fan systems, it works well without heating.
