AQ-C255D Capacitor bank protection device
Home Protection relays Capacitor bank protection AQ-C255D Capacitor bank protection device
Description
The AQ-C255D capacitor bank protection device has been specifically designed for the protection of capacitor banks. It includes capacitor bank current unbalance, capacitor bank neutral unbalance, and overload protections in addition to the standard overcurrent, earth fault and voltage protections. Additionally, it includes the power factor controller that functions as the control unit of an automatic capacitor bank system and can control up to four (4) capacitor banks.
AQ-C255D offers a modular protection and control solution for applications that require a large I/O capacity. You can add up to eleven (11) I/O or communication modules into the device for extensive monitoring and control applications. The AQ-C255D capacitor bank protection device communicates using various protocols, including the IEC 61850 substation communication standard.
Highlights:
A large I/O capacity.
Capacitor bank module with capacitor bank-specific protection functions.
Current- and voltage-based protections.
Power factor controller for up to four (4) capacitor banks.
A controllable color mimic with active feedback.
Power and energy measurement accuracy of up to 0.2 %.
