U Cautions and warnings
Controller hunting: When putting the capacitor bank into operation, it is required to avoid needless
switching cycles (means permanent switching on and off of steps without significant change of
consumer load). This so called “controller hunting“ would increase the number of switching operations
of the connected contactors and capacitors and decrease the expected life cycle (wear out) and, in
worst case, capacitor bursting and fire, etc . This can be avoided by a proper programming of the
BR6000 with the actual system parameters (current transformer prim. and sec., first kvar step, control
series, switching time).
Accessory for PF-Controller BR6000
- USB to RS485 converter to connect BR6000-T6R6/S485 to a PC, ordering code
B44066R3333E230
- Data logger "DataLog SD" for BR6000, ordering code B44066R1311E230
- Multi measuring interfaces MMI6000/MMI7000 for real current measuring
Technical data see separate data sheets.
U Please read cautions information about PFC capacitors and cautions as well as installation
and maintenance instructions in the actual version of the Product Profile Power Factor
Correction to ensure optimum performance and prevent products from failing, and in worst
case, bursting and fire, etc. The actual Product Profile is available at
www.epcos.com/publications.
Information given in the PFC-product profile and values given in the data sheet reflect typical
specifications. You are kindly requested to approve our product specifications or request our
approval for your specification before ordering.
