ABB 300 & 1200 Automatic banks
ABB provides the complete solution to automatic power
factor correction by packaging proven ABB components. ABB
capacitors, contactors, power factor controllers, circuit
breakers, fusible disconnects, and ABB pushbuttons together
provide a system of the highest quality. ABB capacitors
provide exceptional performance using an environmentally
safe dry type design. ABB provides a complete range of
contactors designed for capacitor switching. ABB's power
factor controller offers an easy-to-use microprocessor-based
controller with built-in power factor meter. A variety of
disconnect options are available, including ABB circuit
breakers, fusible and non-fusible switches.
 |
Modularity
The modular design allows for the installation of
additional power and switch modules as well as various
options. Additional units may be connected in parallel.
The number of capacitors and contactors included in the
power modules depends on the automatic capacitor bank
total power and the possible requirement for
anti-resonance reactors.

|
|
Options
Anti-resonance reactors, filters, blown fuse indication,
push to test blown fuse indication, non-fused and fused
disconnect switches and circuit breakers are optional
equipment items that can be factory installed in the
automatic capacitor bank.

|
Approvals
ABB AutoBanks can be UL Panel Listed (UL File #
E105450) per application. |
|
|
|
High reliability
The ABB AutoBank incorporates the well-proven features
of ABB dry type power factor correction capacitor
technology. The use of an ABB power factor controller
and endurance-tested ABB contactors ensure the highest
reliability of the equipment.
|
|
|
Very low losses
Capacitor total losses are less than 0.5 watts per kvar.
AutoBank total losses (without reactors), including
accessories such as power factor controller and
contactors are less than 1.5 watts per kvar.
|
|
|
Complete environmental acceptability
ABB capacitors have a dry type
dielectric with no free
liquid and do not pose any risk of leakage or pollution
of the environment.
|
|
|
Unique sequential protection system
3 phase ABB capacitors are included with AutoBank
products. These ABB capacitors utilize a patented
Sequential protection System which ensures that each
individual capacitor element is selectively and reliably
disconnected from the circuit at the end of its life.
|
|
|
Long life
Low losses and the self-healing properties of ABB
capacitor elements help to ensure long operating life. |
