Q: What is a capacitor switch?
A: A capacitor switch is an electrical device used to control the input and removal of a capacitor bank. It plays an important role in the power system.
Q: What is the function of capacitor switch?
A: The main function is to adjust reactive power. When the reactive power is insufficient in the power grid, the switch will put the capacitor in to compensate the reactive power, improve the power factor, improve the power quality, and reduce the line loss. When the reactive power is in excess, the capacitor can be removed.
Q: What should I pay attention to when using capacitor switch?
A: It should be noted that the switching frequency cannot be too high to avoid damage caused by frequent action of the capacitor. At the same time, it is necessary to reasonably choose switching according to the actual situation of the power grid
Sure, this device cannot be upgraded online, but it requires offline firmware version upgrade using a burning device to upgrade more features or fix known bugs. As this device is a customized product, you need to provide us with the device's model number and version number when upgrading. Once we have determined the upgrade plan, we will contact you and provide you with the burning device and firmware upgrade package needed for the upgrade.

Why Do Substations Use Stones, Gravel, Pebbles, and Crushed Rock?Why Do Substations Use Stones, Gravel, Pebbles, and Crushed Rock?In substations, equipment such as power and distribution transformers, transmission lines, voltage transformers, current transformers, and disconnect switches all require grounding. Beyond grounding, we will now explore in depth why gravel and crushed stone are commonly used in substations. Though they appear ordinary, these stones play a critical safety and functional role.In substation grounding design—especially when multiple gr01/29/2026 -
Why Must a Transformer Core Be Grounded at Only One Point? Isn't Multi-Point Grounding More Reliable?Why Does the Transformer Core Need to Be Grounded?During operation, the transformer core, along with the metal structures, parts, and components that fix the core and windings, are all situated in a strong electric field. Under the influence of this electric field, they acquire a relatively high potential with respect to ground. If the core is not grounded, a potential difference will exist between the core and the grounded clamping structures and tank, which may lead to intermittent discharge.I01/29/2026 -
