FCS Capacitor Switch

General

The Farady’s new generation FCS capacitor switch is a special electrical field design on vacuum interrupter and switch body insulation for switching capacitive current. integrated with single or three phase pole mounted capacitor bank to be reactive power compensation.

With long mechanical and electrical life design can provides an operational life of over 100,000 maintenance-free operations.

Using the FCS will result in substantial savings from reduced maintenance and maximized bank uptime and will also improve Power Quality.

The FCS all comply with relative standard ANSI C37.66/IEC62271

Feature

With optional choice by Normal type and magnetic actautor mechanism.

With optional classes for rated current range:

For 15/27/38kV, with 630A, Max 50kA making capacity. Normal current 1250A is optional.

With optional communication protocols & I/O port for user choice:

RS-232 and RS-485 ports supporting.

Modbus communication protocol is optional(*need special order)

IEC 60870-5-101 communication protocol support.

The Capacitor switch can communicate through GPRS(Or GSM) modem with English(need

*special order)

Note: (*) mean should customized by manufacturer if needed.

Accessories of FCS

Upper terminal Insulator cover 3 pcs/set	Lower terminal Insulator cover 3 pcs/set	Lower expanding bushing 3 pcs/set
Upper terminal 3 pcs/set	Lower terminal 3 pcs/set

Note: Standard made of T2 copper material, for 630A rated current using. With expanding range.

Main new advantages of FCS capacitor switch

                                High reliable manual operation device                                                                 High reliable manual closing device

                                                        Visible ON/OFF indicator                                       IP65 class waterproof plug connector

Note:

Farady Supply special design manual closing device technology with own patent, It applied for normal and abnormal situation closing. Its closing speed(time) comply with IEC62271-100

This function can offset from magnetic actuator fault which when actuator can’t work will cause the major accident.

Primary incomer terminal (directly connect to interrupter reduce power lost)

Vacuum interrupter (with APG technology with external silicone rubber mold pressure covering, increasing the whole insulation and weathering performance)

Outlet bushing (external modular design easy for quality control and maintenance)

Apply ANSOFT design the high-performance magnetic actuator, high reliable and free maintenance. Through 35,000 times opening reverse excitation test, the demagnetization rate less than 1%.

Note:

Farady supply special patent modular design mono-stable type magnetic actuator with two coils controlling. Its the best design for vacuum FCS caps witch.
