PQ-VAR
The intelligent power quality solution that combines dynamic reactive power compensation in variable and capacitive systems with precise phase balancing.
The PQ-VAR solution, based on SVG (Static Var Generator) technology, is particularly effective in systems with variable and non-linear loads. It quickly compensates for fluctuations in reactive power, both inductive and capacitive, and precisely rebalances phases, thus improving power quality and reducing network losses. PQ-VAR responds much faster than traditional capacitor- and inductor-based power factor correction systems, making it ideal for modern and complex applications.
FAQ
PQ-VAR is not just a power factor corrector — it is a next-generation device designed for modern systems with highly variable loads and capacitive shifts, where traditional systems are largely ineffective and prone to failure.
Distorted and capacitive systems are the ideal application for PQ-VAR, as it can compensate both inductive and capacitive reactive power and is completely immune to harmonic distortion.
Yes, PQ-VAR is capable of contributing to phase balancing even in capacitive systems, enhancing overall system stability.
PQ-VAR can be monitored both locally via the onboard HMI interface and remotely through the PQ-Vision application.

How does PQ-VAR work?
The PQ-VAR solution is based on SVG (Static Var Generator) technology and is particularly beneficial in systems with variable and non-linear loads. It uses electronic modules that generate reactive power in real time, allowing you to set and reach a specific power factor target, and achieve perfect phase balancing.
