The power factor regulator is designed to optimize the control of reactive power
compensation. Reactive power compensation is achieved by measuring continuous-
ly the reactive power of the system and then compensated by the switching of

capacitor banks. The sensitivity setting optimizes the switching speed. With the 3. MENU
built-in intelligent automatic switching program, the power factor regulator further
improves the switching efficiency by reducing the number of switching operations
