The VarCom® Series of Capacitor Controls with ComFlexTM allow the user the option of deploying controls with communications factory installed, or the option of deploying the control initially as a local control and later upgrading it with communications. This allows the controls to work with a variety of system-wide VAR management strategies. Should the choice of communications technology change after deployment, VarCom easily accomodates the upgrade, maintaining the value of the asset. VarCom controls are based on the popular NoMax® Capacitor Control design, which features a best-in-class local control user interface, while also allowing for the addition of communications.
Communications equipped VarCom Capacitor Controls add new capabilities for monitoring and controlling capacitor banks. Using ComFlex Flexible Communications Technology, communications can be added to any of the VarCom controls. ComFlex adds command and control functions while maintaining all of the features and capabilities for a full function VarCom control. Communications technologies include:
All VarCom capacitor controls have an electronic clock with perpetual calendar for leap years, holidays and daylight savings time. A 10-year replaceable battery maintains the clock time through extended power outages. The LCD display confirms all settings and displays the non-resetable operations counter. Front panel lights confirm the proper operation of the control and display the capacitor switch status.
