FQ Series: Power Factor Correction Capacitors and Controllers
The FQ series encompasses a comprehensive range of power factor correction (PFC) equipment, including fixed and automatic capacitor banks, power factor controllers, detuned reactors, and individual capacitors. These devices are designed to improve the power factor of electrical installations, reducing reactive energy consumption and associated penalties. Key technical parameters include rated voltage (e.g., 230V, 400V, 690V), reactive power ratings (kvar), frequency (50/60 Hz), and protection class (IP20 for indoor installations). The controllers feature microprocessor-based logic for automatic switching of capacitor steps, with harmonic filtering capabilities in detuned versions. Capacitors are typically self-healing metallized polypropylene film type, ensuring long service life and low losses.
Applications and Sectors
FQ series products are primarily deployed in industrial and commercial electrical distribution systems, including manufacturing plants, data centers, hospitals, and large commercial buildings. They are installed in main distribution boards (MDBs) and sub-distribution boards to correct power factor at the point of common coupling. In heavy industries like steel, cement, and mining, where inductive loads (motors, transformers, welding machines) cause low power factor, these systems reduce energy costs and improve voltage stability. They are also used in renewable energy installations, such as wind and solar farms, to manage grid compliance.
Subcategories and Key Articles
The FQ series includes several subcategories: fixed capacitor banks (e.g., FQ-FC series), automatic capacitor banks (e.g., FQ-AC series), power factor controllers (e.g., FQ-PFC series), and detuned reactors (e.g., FQ-DR series). Key article codes follow a structured format: FQ-AC-400-50-3P indicates an automatic capacitor bank for 400V, 50 kvar, three-phase. Other examples include FQ-FC-230-10-1P (fixed capacitor bank, 230V, 10 kvar, single-phase) and FQ-PFC-12 (12-step controller). These codes are standardized for easy identification of voltage, power, and phase configuration.
