The function and working principle of capacitor compensation cabinet

Capacitor compensation cabinet is used to compensate the generator reactive current, reduce the generator workload, increase the generator available capacity, can reduce a certain amount of power consumption in the factory, save industrial power, improve the power supply quality and power supply capacity of the power supply equipment.

The AC asynchronous motor, welding machine and electromagnet power frequency heater which are widely used in industrial production are inductive load. These inductive loads perform the energy conversion process so that the voltage applied to them is an Angle ahead of the current. The cosine of this Angle is called the power factor, and this current (the current flowing through a coil that has both resistance and inductance) can be broken down into the active component that is in phase with the voltage and the reactive component that is 90 degrees behind the voltage. This reactive component is called inductive reactive current. The power corresponding to the inductive reactive current is called the inductive reactive power. When the power factor is very low, that is, the reactive power is very large, there will be the following hazards:
