3. Features

3.1 With combined control on reactive power and power factor, a

reliable input can be ensured under low load, and surge switching
can be prevented.

3.2 Real-time display of the network status,including parameters such

as power factor,voltage, current, active power, and reactive power,
etc.

3.3 The polarity of the sampling signal can be automatically

identified. Therefore, there is no need to worry about wrong
connections with reversed polarity.

JKF8 Intelligent Low-Voltage 3.4 In case the voltage of the electrical power network is lower
Reactive Power than 300 V, or exceeds the preset over-voltage protection value,the
connected capacitor banks will be automatically and rapidly(5 sec.)
Compensation Controller disconnected in steps, and the voltage value will be displayed.

3.5 In case the signal from the secondary coil of the current
1. General transformer is smaller than 150 ｍ A, the controller will prevent
any more capacitor from being connected, in the mean time,
JKF8 Intelligent Low-Voltage
automatically and rapidly (5 sec.)disconnect the connected capacitor
Reactive Power Compensation Controller (hereinafter referred to as
banks step-wise.
'controller' ) is a dedicated controller which can make compensations
for the reactive power of low voltage distribution system.
3.6 Switching (opening/closing control of the contactor) prevention
time for the same group of capacitors is 3 minutes(capacitor
discharge duration)

3.7 The controller is with cyclic automated-self-test function, which

facilitates the factory acceptance test for a capacitor panel.

6.1 Connection terminal US1 and US2 are to be connected to the sampling voltage. AC 400 V or AC 220V shall be connected.

6.2 Terminal IS1 and IS2 are to be connected to the sampling current, which shall be sampled from the transformed current generated by the current
transformer for the load, and which shall not be in-phase with US1 and US2(if A is for current, then B and C are for voltage).

6.3 Terminal COM is the common shared terminal to be connected to number 1 to 12 relays in the output lines of the controller, and each of the
terminals 1~12 is to be connected to the output control line to control the respective contactor in the respective compensation loop of the capacitor
panel.

6.4 If the coil voltage of the contactor J is 230 V, then Point P is connected to Phase N. If the coil voltage of the contactor Jis 400 V, then Point P is
connected to Phase C(as long as it is not in-phase with terminal COM).
