Medium Voltage Power Quality & Substation Solutions

Controllix Medium Voltage (MV) solutions range from 2.4kV to 38kV and are engineered to optimize power factor, stabilize voltage, and mitigate harmonics in heavy industrial and utility environments. Our metal-enclosed and pad-mounted designs provide superior safety and environmental protection compared to open-rack systems. By integrating advanced vacuum switching and microprocessor-based protection, Controllix MV equipment ensures IEEE 519 compliance and protects high-value upstream infrastructure like power transformers and switchgear.

The Advantage of Metal-Enclosed MV Systems

Unlike traditional open-rack installations, Controllix specializes in Metal-Enclosed Medium Voltage equipment. This design offers several critical advantages:

  1. Enhanced Safety: Eliminates exposure to energized components, reducing the risk of accidental contact and arc-flash incidents.
  2. Environmental Durability: NEMA 3R or custom enclosures protect capacitors and controls from wildlife, salt spray, and extreme weather.
  3. Compact Footprint: Engineered for space-constrained substations or industrial sites.
  4. Factory Assembled & Tested: Reduces on-site commissioning time and ensures all components are tuned as a single system.
