ICAR S.p.A. is synonym of capacitor from 1946, coniugated
over its multiple applications. All along ICAR has believed in the
quality of its products and in the strength of the International
regulations for the achievements of the high performance
standards required for capacitor in industrial applications.
Nowadays ICAR is one of the few companies able to
manufacture capacitors starting from the raw material up to

Power factor
correction
An•advantageous•choice•under•the•
technological•and•ecological•prospective
The proper power factor correction of an electric plant,
brings to several implications far beyond the simple
technical considerations. In an electric plant, the useful
energy that is transformed into work is the active energy.
The electric devices that determine a low cos phi, require
a quote of (“reactive”) energy for their proper functioning
that causes a greater load in both the manufacturing power
plant and the electric lines that convey the plant up to the
user plant.
The power factor correction enables to “produce” the
reactive energy within the plant with clearly visible
advantage for the user and the electric network behind it.
The proper power factor correction of an electric plant,

• (]VPK[OLÄULZHWWSPLKI`[OLLULYN`Z\WWSPLYZ[V[OL
users with low cos phi.
• For new plants, optimize the dimensioning of the
plant depending on the actual planned production
capability
• For existing plants, recover productive capability
without adding/increasing the performances of what
already installed (transformers, cables)
• Reduce line voltage drop (that could cause problems
in motors starting or plants served by long MV power
lines with low short circuit power).
• 9LK\JL LULYN` SVZZLZ K\L [V 1V\SL LќLJ[ PU
transformers and cables
The payback of a power factor correction system often
occurs within a little more than a year.
Beside these technical/economical considerations, it can
not be forgotten the ecological importance of the power
factor correction. In fact, the growing energy demand

• increase the total power installed by building new
generating plants with the resulting environmental
impact for pollution emission during their life cycle
• improve the performances of the transmission and
distribution networks with the addition of new lines
and/or the expansion of the existing ones.
A politic of power factor correction bringing the average
Italian cos phi to 0, 95 would make saving, according to
preventive estimates, about a million of MWh/year with
evident advantage in terms of stress reduction for the
power plant park and the energy transmission /distribution

• Reduced losses on mains and power transformers
• Increase of plant available power
• Less voltage drop in the plant
Thyristor switched capacitor bank is the best and sometimes
the sole choice when it is necessary to compensate loads
over short periods of time. Examples are steel companies,
lifting apparatus (cranes, quay cranes, etc), cable makers
(extruders, etc), welding machines, robots, compressors,
skiing lift stations, LV industrial networks (chemical plants,
paper mills, automotive suppliers). Thyristor switched
capacitor bank are also an ergonomic solution where noise
can be problematic, like hotels, banks, offices, service
infrastructures (telecommunications board, informatics
’boards, hospitals, malls).
Thyristor•switched•capacitor•bank•benefits•include:
• Minimises network disturbances such as Voltage Drop
and Flicker
• No moving parts therefore reduced maintenance (i.e. no
Electro-magnetic contactors)
• Enhanced capacitor life expectancy.

because power factor correction is fast, the power
transformer and line design can be done considering only
the actual load.
Therefore longer working life and reliability of plant.
Static switches allow unlimited operations.
Steps switching is also done limiting transient phenomena

Fast Discharge device RPD 3A
GENERAL•CHARACTERISTICS
Fast Discharge Resistor RPD 3A is designed to discharge power capacitors
within few seconds. It can be used with rated network voltage up to 400V and
frequency 50 or 60Hz. The highest capacitor bank power it can deal with is 75
kvar and its discharge time till residual capacitor voltage of 50V is 3 seconds.
Several discharge times till residual capacitor voltage of 50V are shown in
[HISLILSV^;OL`HYLZOV^UMVY=HUK=JHWHJP[VYYH[LK]VS[HNLHUK
frequency of 50 and 60 Hz.
