TENSE has expanded its range of controllers for reactive power compensation systems.

The 12-step reactive power compensation unit controller, RGT-12E, manufactured by the Turkish company Tense. TENSE's new development meets all the latest requirements for modern reactive power compensation systems installed in various industrial and civil construction areas – factories, workshops, farms, hotels, gas stations, shopping centers, schools, hospitals, banks.

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

• 12 relay outputs;
• Possibility to use with three or one current transformer;
• 2.9-inch LCD display + 17 LED indicators – provide easy setup and full control over the compensation system's operation;
• Separate relay output, programmable for various emergency situations – overvoltage, harmonics, cos.phi;
• Password protection for settings to prevent unauthorized changes to the capacitor bank's operating parameters;
• Indication of active steps;
• Automatic and/or manual input of capacitor values step by step;
• Automatic control of the uniform operating time of individual steps;
• User-definable various operational time parameters – response time to network changes, discharge time, time between re-activation of a step, time between activation of multiple steps;
• Compensates both inductive and capacitive reactive power components;
• Integrated active/reactive energy meters (import/export/inductive/capacitive);
• Display of up to 31 harmonics for current and voltage measurements;
• Measurement of total harmonic distortion in current and/or voltage;
• Integrated reactive power analyzer with a logging function for step-by-step capacitor selection (20 records of 9999 minutes each).
