(i) Always Install CT On Phase With Maximum Load
Current & Connect Rest of 2 Phase to 415VAC of
Relay Through MCB (Max 6Amp.)
(ii) Install CT Before APFC Panel & Factory Load (As
Shown in Wiring Diagram at page no. 7)
(iii) Choose CT 2 to 3 times of Load Current.

of first capacitor At Low Current.
(v) Pay Special Attention For The Size of CT Wire
(2.5mm Copper Conductor Wire is Recommended).
(vi) Always Install Capacitors in Increasing Order
Capacitor Ratio 1-2-4-6-10.................
Or ratio Should Not Increase 2-4-8-15.................
(vii) Install Branded Capacitors (Preferably Epcos).
(viii)Do Not Use Coil Voltage Of Contactors Above 240V.
(ix) Fix Capacitors On LT Side of Transformer For
Transformer PF Compensation (If Energy Meter
Installed On HT Line).

4. System Installation
Appropriate Specifications must be followed while
electrical installation, taking care following
specifications.

a) Input voltage range 350V to 460V (250mA fuse).

b) Current transformer of 5 Amp. secondary (10A fuse)

c) Control circuit for 230V AC 5A. ( use 5Amp.

4(b) Manual Test

AUTO MANUAL SWITCHING
This switch is used to select the mode of operation
(i) Auto mode : The capacitor switch ON/OFF is
automatically related to power factor in order to control
the power factor with in the specified range.
(ii) Manual mode : Controller is by passed and the user can
select the capacitor by pressing navigation keys /

4(c) System Protection

i) Always Install 6 Amp. MCB On Common.
ii) Always use proper fuse (15mm glass fuse)
-
415 VAC - 250 mA
iii) Do Not Use Coil
- Volt of Contactor Above 240Volt.
iv) Choose CT 2 to 3 times of Load Current
(Secondary CT 5Amp.)
v) Always install indoor.

Now sensitivity No. is equal to the dead band setting now

set dead band to previous setting.
Sensitivity No. = sensitivity current x 500 / CT Ratio
sensitivity current is load current where user wants to
switch on first capacitor.

For example : User requires 1st capacitor (say 1KVAr) On

at 3Amp. of load current & CT Ratio is 100/5
Sensitivity No. =3 x 500/100 = 15 (15 is sensitivity no.

For first capacitor of 1KVAr - 003 amp.
For first capacitor of 2KVAr - 005 amp.

Before Trouble Shooting, Always Reset System
FAULT REMEDIES
1. Display shows 'rCL' Reverse CT polarity,
interchange S1 to S2
2. Display shows 'CLo' a) Set current sensitivity
b) Check if load current is less
than current sensitivity of relay.
3. Display shows lead Check the wiring, as per wiring

4. Relay switches the a) Check if current of APFC panel

not improve. b) The capacitors are defective,
the best way to find out is to
measure the capacitor with
capacitor meter.
c) Current polarity of APFC panel
through CT is reversed.
5. Relay doesn't hold a) Increase the dead band setting,
if problem persists even when the
dead band setting is higher, it
means that the size of capacitor is
too large for load. The remedy is
to change with the smaller one.
b) check if capacitors are in
increasing order.
6. Relay is dead a) Check fuse 250mA on terminal
block.
b) Check Voltage at 415VAC
terminal using multimeter (Do
not check with a neon tester)
7. All capacitors on but At the extreme is the possibility
