SET Reactive Power Controller

Stable common compensation for 380 V capacitor banks

SET-JKWC-24 combines reactive-power control, electrical measurement and harmonic supervision in one 144 mm panel controller. Designed for 0.4 kV, 50 Hz low-voltage distribution systems, it manages common three-phase capacitor steps using true reactive-power sampling to reduce hunting and unnecessary switching.

Power-quality monitoring

Displays voltage, current, power factor, active power, reactive power and system frequency. Operators can also review capacitor-step status directly from the LCD.

Reactive-power control

Reactive-power sampling and configurable switching thresholds help prevent repetitive switching around the target power factor. Capacitor capacity and step ratio can be set for the actual bank.

Harmonic supervision

Monitors voltage and current THD plus individual 3rd through 21st odd harmonics. Adjustable THD limits can inhibit capacitor switching when the network condition is unsuitable.

Choose the interface that matches the cabinet

SET-JKWC-24 is available with either low-voltage level outputs for compatible switching devices or relay contacts for conventional contactor-based capacitor banks. The selected output form must match the actual control circuit.

  • Type A: DC 12 V, 40 mA level output
  • Type B: 5 A / AC 220 V relay contact output
  • Configurable switching interval from 0.02 to 600 seconds
  • Configurable capacitor discharge delay from 0 to 300 seconds
  • Manual mode for commissioning and forced step testing
  • Automatic storage of settings after power loss

Protection and commissioning

Parameters that adapt to the real installation

Protection thresholds, CT ratio, target power factor, capacitor capacity, step ratio and switching times are configurable from the front panel. The controller indicates overvoltage, undervoltage, phase loss and other limit conditions on the display.

  • Overvoltage and undervoltage protection
  • Overcurrent and undercurrent protection
  • Voltage and current harmonic protection
  • Target power factor adjustable from 0.85 to 1.0
  • Rotation timing for more even capacitor-step use
  • Password-protected parameter setup

Important commissioning note

For the common-compensation version, the manual specifies sampling from two line voltages and one current signal with the correct phase relationship. Set the CT ratio and every capacitor-step value before automatic operation. Voltage conductors should use 1.5 mm² single-core copper wire; CT current wiring should use 2.5 mm² copper wire and be kept short.

Installation, testing and maintenance must be carried out by qualified electrical personnel. Short-circuit the CT secondary before disconnecting or replacing the controller.

FAQ

Common engineering questions

Can it control both contactors and electronic switches?

Yes. Select the correct hardware version: Type B provides 5 A / AC 220 V relay contacts, while Type A provides DC 12 V / 40 mA level outputs. The order configuration must match the cabinet control circuit.

Does the controller measure harmonics?

Yes. It measures voltage/current THD and the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 19th and 21st harmonic content. These readings support commissioning and configurable harmonic protection.

How many capacitor steps can be connected?

The platform supports up to 24 control channels. Unused channels can be disabled by setting their capacity to zero.

When should the split-phase model be selected instead?

Use the split-phase version when each phase must be measured and compensated independently, or when a cabinet combines Y-type and Δ-type capacitor steps. The common version on this page is intended for Δ-type common three-phase compensation.
