MV and HV Capacitors - Application and Benefits
Wednesday, October 13, 2010
Note **NEW** Luncheon Location

Cooper Power Systems
About the Topic
Power capacitors applied on electric power systems offer many benefits
like reactive power support, utility reliability, voltage improvement,
loss reduction, capacity release, and lower utility charges. Power
capacitors are one of the "greenest" products that can be applied to a
utility or an industrial/commercial power system as they reduce the
losses associated with the transportation of reactive power from the
generation centers to the loads. This presentation will address some
basic capacitor application concepts and the benefits derived from
properly applying them.
