MV-AutoVAR
The MV-AutoVAR product line is comprised of metal-enclosed, medium voltage capacitor banks for applications with varying plant power factors. This capacitor system, which is housed within a NEMA 3R modular enclosure, automatically switches stages of capacitance in and out based on information collected by the power factor controller on the door-in-door control panel.
