Circutor R13851 Computer SMART III 6 Power Factor Regulator 6-Step RS-485

The Circutor Computer SMART III 6 (code R13851) is a three-phase power factor regulator for reactive energy compensation in low-voltage installations. It controls 6 capacitor-bank steps via contactor switching across a wide supply range of 100...520 V AC and communicates via RS-485 Modbus RTU. Current transformer inputs accept .../5 A or .../1 A secondaries, and the voltage measurement circuit covers 20...300 V phase-to-neutral.

Features and benefits:

• Supports connection of either 1 or 3 current transformers, enabling accurate measurement in three-phase systems with significant load imbalances and allowing wiring changes without replacing the regulator.
• Integrated power analyser functions alongside reactive energy regulation, so a separate metering instrument is not required in the compensation panel.
• Residual leakage current monitoring (0.01...1.5 A) via WG series current transformers adds a safety monitoring layer directly within the capacitor bank controller.
• Up to 4 programmable cos-phi targets with separate time periods allows the unit to adapt to different tariff windows and compensation requirements without hardware modifications.
• Programmable alarms and built-in capacitor status testing routines support preventive maintenance and help identify capacitor degradation before failures occur.

Applications:

• Reactive energy compensation control in industrial and commercial low-voltage distribution panels with contactor-switched capacitor banks.
• Drop-in replacement for existing power factor regulators in any capacitor bank, owing to compatibility with both single-CT and three-CT measurement wiring.
• Installations with notable phase imbalances or multiple electricity tariff periods requiring flexible cos-phi target programming.
• Medium Voltage compensation units where broad supply voltage compatibility (up to 520 V AC) and RS-485 network integration are required.
