TENSE has expanded its range of controllers for reactive power compensation systems.
The controller for reactive power compensation units, 12-step, RGT-12E model, manufactured by Tense (Turkey). TENSE's new development meets all the latest requirements of modern reactive power compensation systems installed in various locations in the industrial and civil sectors — factories, workshops, farms, hotels, gas stations, shopping centers, schools, hospitals, and banks.

The new reactive power controller (reactive power compensation controller) has the following features:

• 12 relay outputs;

• possibility of use with three or a single current transformer;

• 2.9-inch LCD display + 17 LED indicators — provide easy adjustment and full control over the operation of the compensation equipment;

• independent relay output, programmable for various emergency situations — overvoltage, harmonics, cos φ;

• password protection to prevent unauthorized changes to the operating parameters of the capacitor unit;

• indication of connected steps;

• automatic and/or manual input of capacitor values by steps;

• automatic control of the uniform operating time of each step;

• user-set adjustment of various operating time parameters — response time to network changes, discharge time, interval between re-connections of the same step, interval between connecting several steps;

• compensation of both inductive and capacitive reactive power components;

• built-in active/reactive energy meters (import/export/inductive/capacitive);

• display of up to 31 harmonics of current and voltage;

• measurement of total harmonic distortion of current and/or voltage;

• built-in reactive power analyzer with data logging for stepped capacitor selection (20 records up to 9999 minutes).
