Device description Power factor correction regulator PFC 6 and PFC 8 are designed for reactive power control in low and medium voltage girds 50/60 Hz. PFC 6 and PFC 8 allows to control compensation cabinets with 6 (PFC 6) respective 8 (PFC 8) contactor steps.
will turn On. Another pressing the button SET will make the value of the power of the first stage be shown on the display. If the value is not correct, it should be changed by pressing buttons ▲, ▼ until the correct value. In the case of capacitor stage, LED cap, placed at the left side of display, has to light.
Picture 5. Connection of PFC 8 controller for standard supply voltage 400 VAC Controller parameter setting Considering various usage of controllers PFC 6 and PFC 8, there is a number of programmable parameters. For easy start, regulator is set to default parameters, made by manufacturer. Set parameters are stated in the following table.

Discharging time can be set from 5 to 900 seconds. Default factory setting value is 120 seconds compatible with ETI capacitors type LPC. Default setting is optimal for capacitors with built in discharge resistors, without using extra discharge resistors or inductors. For PFC systems that have provided extra discharge resistors or inductors, which ensure quick discharge of capacitors, dit time can be much lower, but not less than 60s.
Table 4. Phase shift setting for supply and measuring voltage 400 V AC 6.10 Regulation to average or instantaneous power factor (_CS) This setting defines if regulator will regulate slow contactor stages to average or instantaneous power factor. If the set value is on then usage of contactor stages is affected by average power factor.
6.15 Configuration of RS485 communication port Following parameters relate to configuration of serial communication for RS485 port (MODBUS communication protocol) for controllers PFC 6 RS and PFC 8 RS. • Id – defines the number of devices in the RS485 network and can be set from 1 ... 255 •...
6.17 Restart (rES) This function restores default configuration. It is last item in the menu and it is represented on the display by symbol rES. Press the button SET and keep it. At the same time press the button ▼. LED of capacitor stages will turn on and then slowly will start to go down.
7.1 Cosφ Displaying the cosφ is default indication. This value will appear on display after supply voltage connection and if in current input the current flow is ≥ 5 mA. Red LED on the left side of display marked as ind and cap indicates if measured power factor is in inductive or capacitive area.
alarm will appear on the display. Another pressing the button SET will cancel shown alarm. If more alarm events happened, another event symbol will appear on the display. By keeping the same procedure, it is possible to follow till last alarm event is not cancelled. In the displayed values mode it is possible to find out which values of alarm events activated alarm.
