Capacitive Load Device
AT series capacitive load device consists of multiple power capacitor banks with switching, measurement and protection units. It provides multi-step switchable capacitive reactive power for power equipment testing and power system applications. Widely used for capacitor bank tests, reactive power compensation tests, filter branch commissioning, transformer capacitive load tests and switchgear switching tests.
Application
AT series capacitive load device provides capacitive reactive power load for power system testing. Through independent switching of multiple capacitor banks, it simulates capacitive loads in actual grids. Main applications include:
Factory and type tests of power capacitor banks
Testing and commissioning of reactive power compensation devices (SVC / SVG / TSC / MSC)
Filter branch commissioning (combined with reactors)
Transformer capacitive load and temperature rise tests
Capacitor bank switching tests for MV switchgear
High-voltage cable charging current simulation tests
Generator under-excitation operation tests
Capacitive reactive power compensation tests for wind/PV grid integration
Structural Features
Multi-stage capacitor banks: Multiple independent capacitor units, each switchable individually for step-by-step reactive power adjustment
Multiple voltage levels: Covers LV 0.4kV to MV 35kV systems
Flexible switching modes: Manual, electric or automatic control
Complete protection: Over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, fuse protection and discharge devices
Safe discharge: Each capacitor bank equipped with discharge resistors or reactors for fast discharge after power-off
Frame structure: Steel frame or container structure for easy transport, installation and expansion
Measurement and monitoring: Optional current, voltage, reactive power and temperature monitoring
Low-loss design: Low-loss polypropylene film capacitors with small heat generation and long life
Selection Guide
Capacitor factory test: Choose small single-bank capacity with multiple banks to simulate various load conditions
Reactive compensation test: Match voltage and capacity with tested compensation device, configure reactors
Filter branch commissioning: Select reactor reactance rate based on target harmonic order (5%, 6%, 7%, 12%, 14%)
Switchgear switching test: Choose electric or automatic switching to simulate actual capacitor switching
Transformer capacitive load test: Match capacitive reactive power with tested transformer capacity
Outdoor installation: Choose oil-immersed capacitors or outdoor IP54 dry-type solution
Frequent switching applications: Choose thyristor switches (TSC) for fast response and no contact wear
