What to Consider When Choosing a Compensation Panel

The first step in choosing a compensation panel is correctly analyzing your facility's actual load profile. An undersized panel cannot prevent the reactive penalty, while an oversized panel leads to unnecessary investment cost.

Capacitor quality, automatic relay sensitivity, contactor lifespan and the panel's suitability for the harmonic environment are also critical criteria to consider. In facilities with dense harmonic-generating loads such as variable-frequency drives (VFDs) and LED lighting, detuned-reactor solutions should be preferred.
