C1000 Series Automatic Cap BankMetal Enclosed - Medium VoltageCapacitors Assemblies “Fixed / Auto”Medium Voltage5, 15, 25 and 35 kV ClassCustomized to your specificationsThe Reactive Power SolutionGentec Capacitor C1000 Assemblies provideautomatic control of main bus power factor, reducedemand on substation transformers, improve main busvoltage and eliminate poor power factor rate penalties.Compact and versatile, Gentec capacitor assembliesare specifically designed to meet the stringentreliability requirements of the main plant substationand distribution system. They also offer improvedeconomy, ease of maintenance and simplifiedoperation.Additionally, Gentec assemblies can be customized tomeet your specifications. Gentec provides the mostcompact and cost effective capacitor assembliesavailable.Each assembly is a complete power factor correctionunit, completely factory tested and assembled prior toshipment. The unit is shipped ready for installation andstart-up requiring the user to simply set it in placeconnect the incoming line, control voltage and CTsignal circuits and adjust the settings to the powerfactor controller.Metal Enclosed• Industrial Assemblies• Utility Assemblies• Pad MountAssemblies• Custom DesignedTECHNICAL DATA - C1000 SeriesRated Voltage / Phase 5 kV to 25 kV / 3 phasesRated Frequency 50 Hz or 60 HzRated Power20 to 12000 kVARPower Factor Controller 12 steps N12 or NC12Insulation Level60-95-125 kV BILPower Losses0.5 w/kVARContinuous Overvoltage 110 %Continuous Overcurrent 135 %Mounting TypeFloor Mounting BracketEnclosure TypeIndoor and outdoorTemperature Class -40 °C to 55 °Co Average 24h: + 45 °CColorASA 61 (Light Grey)Construction Standard UL, CSA, IEC

EnclosuresThe Gentec C1000 Series Enclosures provide along-lasting corrosion and weather resistantfinish with an aesthetic appearance.The enclosures are easily and readily accessibleby simply removing front and rear or by openingthe front and rear access doors. Door stops limitdoor swing to 130° and prevent accidentalclosure.The enclosure provides housing ruggedness,durability and an attractive appearance, withminimal maintenance through the use of #11-gauge formed sheet steel. The enclosures arewelded construction.While there are numerous colors from which tochoose, standard colors are ANSI No. 61-LightGray for indoor assemblies and ANSI No. 24-Dark Gray for outdoors units. The 4-inchstructural steel base is painted with a paint toprevent corrosion.The enclosures are equipped with four (4)removable lifting lugs.Other features include:• Hardware which cannot be removedexternally• Three-point latching on all doors with singleor double door entry• Baffled vent panels (outdoor units only)which provide protection against forced entryof foreign objects, weather elements orwildlife• Optional pent ahead bolts for additionalaccess restriction• Provides adequate space for numerouscomponent configurationsAvailable Options:Gentec will customize standard capacitorassemblies to fit your specifications.The following is a list of available options forCapacitor Assemblies.Incoming Line Options• Bottom or top cable entry• Bus pad, lugs or cable terminators• Roof bushing entry (requires specialenclosure)• Bushing wells• Bank disconnect, 3 single-pole hook-stick• Bank disconnect, group-operated• Bank fuse, disconnect and non-disconnectstyle mounting• Control / potential transformer (with primaryCLF)• Current transformerEnclosure Options• External NEMA-rated control cabinet• Auxiliary control section (part of mainenclosure)• Remote control cabinet mounting• Vented panels• Vent fans• Key interlock schemeControl Options• VAR sensing control (hand-off-auto)• Manual control (on-off)• Solid-state power factor control• Voltage or current control• Control cabinet lights and receptacles• Blown fuse alarm system• Programmable controller• Custom micro-processor controlHarmonic Filter SystemsCustom engineered harmonic filter systems areavailable to assure a constant level of powerquality. Incorporating reactors in series withcapacitors will detune or lower the frequency ofresonance, assuring efficient capacitoroperation.Power factor correction capacitors may besubject to overloading (blown fuse) or failure,due to excessive current and voltage, created byharmonics.A reliable, cost effective solution is to install aharmonic filter system.• Application Engineered• Iron Core and Air Core Reactors• Large Inrush RequirementsPage 3 of 5

Industrial Capacitor AssembliesWhen economy of space is a prime concern, Gentecoffers Capacitors Assemblies from 5 kV through 25kV.The unique Industrial Cap configuration provides amore compact design with multiple step banks. Theassembly does not require rear access and can beinstalled on or next to a wall.Utilizing the same components as standardassemblies, Industrial Capacitors units provideautomatic power factor correction for 3 phase, 3 or 4wire, resistance-grounded, grounded, ungrounded,60 Hz systems.Each assembly is manufactured in strict accordancewith applicable ANSI, IEEE, and NEMA standards. Allcapacitors are completely built and tested prior toshipment.Space Saver Capacitor assemblies are completelymetal enclosed with durable, 11-ga. steel housings. Ahinged access door provides front access to allcomponents. Corrosion and tamper resistantconstruction with 3-point latching system and padlockable handles insure safety and security in allindoor and outdoor applications.Industrial Cap units are available in ‘’fixed’’ kVARmanual switching and automatic switching (multistep)configurations.Vertical Stack CapacitorAssemblies (Utility)For constant large capacitance requirements, offersVertical Stack Capacitor Assemblies.The vertical capacitor configuration reduces metalenclosed unit sizes to a minimum while allowing forhigher system ratings with single bank mega VARcapacity.Corrosion and weather resistant 11-ga. formed sheetsteel enclosure provides durable protection for allcomponents. Tamper resistant construction with 3-point latching system with padlockable handles isstandard to minimize unauthorized entry. Keyinterlock systems provide additional operator safety...Hinged front panel provides easy access to allcomponents for maintenance or inspection.Each assembly is factory built and tested beforeactual installation on site. Applicable ANSI, IEEE, andNEMA standards are followed in the design,manufacture and testing of the capacitor assembly.Vertical Stack units may include circuit breakers,special reactors, relay arrangements, and uniquedesign construction, depending on the utilityrequirements. Vertical Stack Capacitor Assembliesare generally customized to meet you specificrequirements and are available from 5 kV through25 kV for indoor and outdoor applications.Page 4 of 5
