Schneider Electric’s range of VarSet low voltage (LV) capacitor banks form part of the company’s power factor correction solutions which modify and control reactive energy. Reactive energy management aims to optimise electrical installation by reducing energy consumption, and improving power availability. Total CO₂ emissions are also reduced and utility power bills are typically reduced by 5 to 10%. The complete range of VarSet Easy LV capacitor banks, for fixed and automatic compensation, assists in balancing for reactive power and harmonic distortion. This provides an easy and efficient solution to quickly maintain a facility’s power factor at an ideal level for maximum system efficiency. As a result of  power factor correction and reactive power compensation solutions, facilities in the retail and healthcare space, office buildings, hotels, pumping stations, small packaging as well as small industrial facilities can benefit from tangible return on investments and reduced capital expenses of up to 30%, owing to optimised electrical system capacity.
