Circutor R13864 Computer SMART III 14 Power Factor Regulator 14-Step RS-485

The Circutor Computer SMART III 14 (code R13864) is a three-phase automatic power factor regulator that manages reactive energy compensation across 14 contactor-switched steps. It accepts an AC supply of 100...400 V at 50...60 Hz and communicates via RS-485 using the Modbus RTU protocol, making it a capable choice for both new installations and regulator replacements in industrial compensation panels.

Features and benefits:

• Supports measurement with either one or three current transformers, allowing the regulator to mirror the utility meter reading precisely and handle installations where phase currents are significantly unbalanced.
• Residual leakage current monitoring is available when used with compatible WG-series current transformers, adding an extra layer of safety supervision within the compensation panel.
• RS-485 Modbus RTU communication enables integration with SCADA systems, energy management platforms, or building automation networks for centralised monitoring.
• Up to four programmable cos phi target values can be set to match different tariff time periods, reducing manual intervention when consumption patterns change throughout the day.
• The wide AC supply range of 100...400 V and voltage measurement span up to 520 V Ph-Ph make the unit suitable for diverse grid conditions without requiring additional matching transformers.

Applications:

• Automatic reactive energy compensation in industrial plants, manufacturing facilities, and large commercial buildings to reduce reactive energy penalties.
• Retrofitting or upgrading the controller in existing capacitor banks where a drop-in regulator replacement is required.
• Installations with pronounced phase current imbalances where three-transformer measurement delivers greater compensation accuracy than a single-CT setup.
• Medium voltage compensation systems that require a regulator capable of operating across a broad voltage measurement range.
