 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Introduction
Mikro®’s power factor regulator X80 is designed to detect and compensate
displacement power factor caused by inductive load by switching in banks of
capacitors. As oppose to traditional regulator that only measures reactive power
on a single phase basis but compensates three phases, the X80’s Three Phase
m o d e l i s a t r u e t h r e e p h a s e s y s t e m a s r e a c t i ve p o w e r o f a l l t h r e e p h a s e s a r e
measured individually and compensated optimally.

disabling) different levels of alarms. The alarms then can be linked to a dedicated
signal contact to alert the users of potential issues such as under compensation WKXV
avoiding penalty charges from the utilities).

As the name suggest, Mikro®’s power factor regulator X80 provides the user
with a 2 inch wide, 64 x 128 dot matrix LCD for displaying its various measurement
parameters such as: frequency, voltage, current, THD, active, reactive, apparent power
and temperature. The dot matrix LCD allows up to 31st voltage and current harmonics
to be display in graphical and table form.

As per the other Mikro®’s power factor regulator series, it includes the automatic C/K
and rated step size detection feature for ease of commissioning for typical inductive
loads. Taking advantage of the dot matrix LCD, the X80 also provides a guided
step-by-step commissioning menu that enables fast setup.

The regulator extends its connectivity by adopting the Modbus-RTU protocol. Through
the use of RS485 standard protocol, the user will be able to network the regulator with
other IEDs that links to a center monitoring station.

Quick Commissioning
The regulator is pre-programmed with the most common parameters as its
factory default setting. Users are normally not required to change any setting upon
commissioning. If the user requires any changes in the setting, the quick
commissioning feature will provide the user with a step-by-step guidance in setting up
all the mandatory parameters for the regulator to function properly.

SETTINGS

Switching Program

switching algorithms:

1. MANUAL
This mode is typically reserved for testing the regulator when commissioning it for the

pressing the c or d button. The c Button will turns on and d button will turns off the

2. AUTOMATIC
The regulator selects the most appropriate step to switch in order to achieve the
target power factor in the shortest reaction time within the minimum number of steps.
For equal aging of capacitor and contactor the program will select the least used step
to switch in or the most used step to switch out, if there are 2 or more equally rated
steps.

3. ROTATIONAL

achieve the target power factor.

4. FOUR-QUADRANT
This mode is the same as automatic switching mode with the exception of that it
operates in both import power and export power UHJHQHrative) conditions. There will
be no automatic CT polarity correction in this mode.

5. LINEAR

sequence to achieve the target power factor.

NOTES:
ŀ For single phase model, in automatic, rotational and linear switch program, all the
ative.
ŀFor three phase model, three phase detection mode and in automatic, rotational and
linear switch program, all the capacitor banks will be disconnected if the measured

L1, L2, L3 or max load, the capacitor will be disconnected only if the selected phase
is regenerative.

Settings 13
 Target Power Factor
The user will be able to set the target displacement power factor value from 0.8
capacitive to 0.8 inductive. The regulator will switch the capacitor banks on and off,
attempting to achieve this set value.

Sensitivity
The sensitivity setting controls the reaction time for the regulator to switch. The
reaction time to switch is dependent on the demand, step size and the sensitivity
setting. A small demand, large step size and a high sensitivity setting will result in
a slower switching whereas a large demand, small step size and a small sensitivity
setting will result in a faster switching speed. The reaction time is counted dynamically
as the demand changes providing an optimal reaction time. Please refer to appendix
D.2 for more details.

Reconnection Time
This setting prevents the reconnection of the same capacitor bank before it is fully
discharged. This parameter is usually set based on the discharge time of the largest
capacitor size in used. When a step is being turned on while the reconnection time is
counting down, the LCD will display the blinking step indicating that particular step is
pending to turn on.

C/K
The C/K value determines the threshold current value for the regulator to switch
2Q2If). The C/K value is determined manually via table D.1.0 $SSHQGL[ D.1) base
on the smallest capacitor bank size, system voltage and CT ratio. The regulator can
automatically detect the C/K value by setting it to auto.

14 © 2015 Mikro Sdn Bhd All Rights Reserved

The rated step setting allows the user to program the outputs in accordance to the

on and will not be part of the switching. If the C/K setting is automatic, the rated step
size will be determined by the regulator.

Signal Contact
The signal contact feature provides a way to alert the user when an abnormality
condition is detected in the system. The user can link the signal contact with any of
the 10 alarms available individually or collectively. e.g. If the signal contact is linked
with under compensate, the under compensate alarm is enabled. When the regulator
detected an under compensate condition, the alarm will trigger and the signal contact
will switch.

Phase Detection
For the three phase model, the user has the options to select the method to detect
and compensate the displacement power factor as desired. The user can choose to set
L1, L2, L3, maximum load or three phases. For maximum load setting, the regulator
will compensate base on the phase that has the maximum load. For the three phase
setting, the regulator will calculate the demand for all 3 phases and consolidate it for
optimum compensation.

Automatic CT Polarity Correction

The automatic CT polarity correction automatically corrects the reversed
connection of the current transformer in terms of measured parameters and compensation
calculation. This feature is not available for the four quadrant switching program as
the regulator would not be able to distinguish the reversed connection of the current
transformer. The automatic CT polarity correction is only available for single phase
model.

Restore Default Settings

The user can reset to default factory setting by pressing all 2 buttons GRZQ and
up) simultaneously for 5 seconds. The user will have 3 options, reset settings, reset
password and reset settings and password to choose from. Refer to appendix C for the
factory default value.

Password
When the regulator is locked, the user will be required to key in the password when
attempting to change any settings of the regulator WKH user will still be able to view
the measurement parameters and alarm status). The user has the options to reset
the password by pressing all 2 buttons GRZQ and up) simultaneously for 5 seconds.
The default password is 0,0,0,0. The regulator will lock when it is idle for more than 5

 COMMUNICATION

Communication Setup
The regulator supports the Modbus-RTU protocol. The protocol uses a master/slave meth-
od where the regulator is the slave device. The data’s are transmitted serially via the RS485
protocol. The user can connect a RS485 to RS232 adapter to establish a communication
through the PC serial port. The supported function codes are 03 UHDG holding register),
04 UHDG input register), 06 ZULWH single register) and 16 ZULWH multiple registers). The
default parity mode is Even and None parity requires 2 stop bit. Refer to the connection
diagram to setup the communication.

D.3 Total Harmonic Distortion for Current (%THDI)

in = nth order harmonic rms current

%THDI = i1 = fundamental rms current

NOTES:
If the measured current falls below 2% of the rated current, the %THDI will display “---“.
This is because the regulator will not be able to obtain a reliable measurement to calcu-
late the %THDI. For %THDI > 500%, %THDI will be capped at 500%

D.4 Total Harmonic Distortion for Voltage (%THDV)

Vn = nth order harmonic rms current

%THDI =
V1 = fundamental rms current

NOTES:
If the measured voltage falls below 5% of the rated voltage, the %THDV will display
“---“. This is because the regulator will not be able to obtain a reliable measurement to
calculate the %THDV. For %THDV > 500%, %THDV will be capped at 500%
