Standard Type Static Capacitive Modules Selection Guide: Technical Criteria & Application Standards
Standard Type Static Capacitive Modules selection guide: technical parameters, mounting and compliance standards, and Tibcon, Tense, Siemens comparison.
A standard type static capacitive module is a switching module, also sold as a capacitive static contactor, that connects and disconnects a power factor correction capacitor with a thyristor. It is used to switch capacitor steps frequently and without contact arcing on loads whose reactive power demand changes at short intervals, such as welding, presses and lifting equipment. Tibcon TBE25 models are offered in ratings such as 5, 25, 75 and 100 kVAr, while Tense STC and SMC models are offered in 10 kVAr, 30 kVAr and 3 × 15 kVAr. The product data for Tense models includes the recommended cable cross-section (10 mm² or 16 mm²), built-in thermal protection and fan cooling information. Compare the step power (kVAr) and the single-phase or three-phase step configuration by the capacitor bank, the cooling method by the temperature inside the panel, and the housing size by the panel layout. For models with a multiplier such as 3 × 15 kVAr on the label, verify the step arrangement from the manufacturer datasheet. A capacitive static module switches a capacitor step on and off; it is not an inductive load driver that runs a shunt reactor steplessly in SVC systems. The Standard Type Static Capacitive Modules category on Welibaba includes 13 active models from leading manufacturers such as Tibcon, Tense, Siemens.
Key Technical Parameters for Selecting Standard Type Static Capacitive Modules
To specify the right Standard Type Static Capacitive Modules model for your panel or installation, verify the following parameters against your engineering schedule:
| Parameter | Typical Catalog Values | Verification Note |
|---|---|---|
| Power | 100 kVAr, 15 kVAr, 1x5 kVAr, 25 kVAr | Verify against project schedule and load calculation |
| Size Type | 120x158x223mm, 130x164x150mm, 80x104x65mm | Verify against project schedule and load calculation |
| Built-in Thermal Protection | Var | Verify against project schedule and load calculation |
| Dimensions / Enclosure | 151 × 135 × 128 mm, 195 × 130 × 151 mm | Verify against project schedule and load calculation |
Installation, Compatibility, and Commissioning Checklist
- Electrical & Mechanical Matching: Confirm that rated voltage, current capacity, and mounting dimensions align with the upstream and downstream components in Static Thyristor Capacitive Modules.
- Environmental & Enclosure Rating: Check IP protection class, housing material, and terminal capacity for dusty, humid, or high-vibration industrial environments.
- Related Product Groups: If your application calls for a different form factor or rating, compare sibling categories such as Industrial Type Static Capacitive Modules.
