LV-Transient-free static switching capacitor
The LV-transient-free static switched capacitor bank provides next level power system enhancements. This level of protection is ideal for high-current loads that rapidly switch on and off – such as those found in rock crushing, arc-welding, plastic injection molding and crane applications – which are typically vulnerable to power factor issues, voltage flickers, or require sag or harmonic corrections. Eaton’s Transient-free static switching device comes in two models: the FTA model and the FTE model.
