PICAM installations

General

PICAM systems are fully automatically controlled, with reactor-based compact reactive current compensations equipped with high-quality, self-healing dry capacitors.
The simple mounting on the mounting plate results in a cost-effective solution for capacities of up to 50 kvar.

Design and equipment

Switch cabinet: Wall-mounted cabinet made of steel sheet W x H x D = 600 x 800 x 300 mm, colour RAL 7035, door hinge on the right side, lock DB 3 mm, protection class IP 33C
Max. equipment fitting: 50 kVar or 4-stage units
Mounting plate: fitted with AM dry condensers, filter circuit chokes, switching contactors and NH-LTS 00
Reactive power controller: microprocessor-controlled, including under-voltage tripping, temperature monitoring, fan control and fault indication
Control switches: mounted in the door
Ventilation: from 25 kVar with fan
Connection: from below or above on the NH-LTS 00
Line fuse: onsite
Current transformer: onsite, transformer ratio … / 5
