Low Voltage
Fixed Capacitor Banks
Specifications
Designed for individual load correction, Controllix Fixed Capacitor Banks are connected directly to the terminals of inductive loads such as motors and transformers. By providing reactive power at the source, these units eliminate the need for the electrical network to distribute reactive power, effectively reducing I2R heat losses and preventing utility power factor penalties. They are an ideal, low-maintenance solution for facilities with constant electrical loads.
Low Voltage
Automatic Capacitor Banks
Specifications
Controllix Automatic Capacitor Banks provide a centralized, user-friendly solution for facilities with fluctuating power demands. Equipped with advanced programmable VAR controllers, these systems sense real-time load changes and automatically switch capacitor steps to maintain a precise target power factor. This prevents “over-correction” during low-load periods and ensures maximum efficiency during peak operations, making them more efficient than individual motor capacitors for large industrial applications.
Low Voltage
Automatic Harmonic Filter Equipment
Specifications
Engineered for environments with high non-linear loads (such as VFDs, LED lighting, and DC drives), Controllix Harmonic Filters combine power factor correction with iron-core detuning reactors. These systems prevent parallel resonance and protect sensitive electronics by filtering out damaging harmonic frequencies (typically tuned below the 5th harmonic). They are the premier choice for achieving IEEE 519 compliance while simultaneously reducing system capacity requirements and improving voltage regulation.
Low Voltage
Relay & Control Panels
Specifications
Controllix Relay and Control Panels are custom-engineered metal structures designed to house critical protection and control devices. Built to IEEE, NEMA, and ANSI standards, these panels offer turnkey integration for system monitoring and protection. Whether you require a free-standing unit or a rack-mounted NEMA 3R cabinet, our engineers design each panel based on your specific one-line diagrams to ensure seamless compatibility with existing SCADA or building management systems.
Low Voltage Power Quality Solutions & Capacitor Banks
Controllix Low Voltage (LV) products are engineered for electrical systems operating under 1,000 Volts (per ANSI standards). Our solutions—including fixed and automatic capacitor banks and harmonic filters—are designed to reduce utility demand charges, minimize equipment loading, and eliminate harmonic distortion. By optimizing power factor at the source, Controllix helps industrial and utility clients achieve IEEE 519 compliance while extending the lifespan of transformers and distribution equipment.
Why Low Voltage Power Factor Correction Matters
Maintaining a high power factor in low voltage systems is critical for operational efficiency. Controllix LV solutions address five key electrical challenges:
- Reducing Utility Demand Charges: Avoid penalties by maintaining power factor above 0.95.
- Decreasing System Losses: Lower I2R heat losses in cables and transformers.
- Voltage Stabilization: Prevent equipment malfunctions caused by voltage drops.
- Increasing Load Capacity: Free up “trapped” KVA in your existing transformers.
- Harmonic Mitigation: Protect sensitive electronics from non-linear load interference.
