GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Power Factor Correction Application Solution and Problem Analysis
To correct or improve the power factor, it is necessary to connect capacitors at To reduce the peak current, it is necessary to insert inductances in

Active Power is expressed as:
the presence of harmonic currents in addition to the nominal cur-
P = U x I x Cos rent (with a permissible coefficient: 1.3 ln) of the capacitor banks.
and by analogy, the Reactive Power is expressed as: According to the capacitor manufacturers, the power capacitors
may be over dimensioned 10% due to the internal capacitor toler-
Q = U x I x Sine ance (permissible coefficient: 1.1 ln). Contactors used for switching
capacitor banks must be rated to carry a thermal current 1.43
The Power Factor represents the relationship between the Active Power times (1.3 ln x 1.1 ln) the nominal current of the capacitor.

Positive Design Operation
(6.6”)
The key for positive operation is one assembly on one arma-
ture guide, all factory manufactured and 100% tested.
An extra set of line contacts, 3 poles, is part of the main
armature guide. These are designed into the head of the contactor,
along with a current limiting inductance to reduce the inrush. This is
one assembly and part of the contactor. When the contactor is
(5.06”)

turned ON, as the armature closes, the three extra poles are early
make, before the main poles make to reduce the inrush current.
Most important, these early make poles, then mechanically open as
the armature picks up so the main poles only carry the continuous

current.
