41 Note: Soft start application considerations. Capacitors should
only be applied after the soft start is at full voltage and the bypass
contactor is closed. An auxiliary contact on the bypass contactor is
42 used to energize the capacitor contactor. When the bypass contactor
in the soft start opens the capacitor contactor will drop out. For
multiple motors on the same bus, as in a motor control center for
example, it is desirable to take all the capacitors off line any time

When power factor correction is required in the presence
of nonlinear loads, the most reliable, lowest cost solution is 36

Features
30 Configuration
AUTOVAR Filter Cabinet: 12 gauge steel with ANSI 61 gray, baked finish.
31 Removable lift bolts standard, NEMA 1 (gasketed)
Power line interconnect: Rugged, copper busbar connec-
tion with access provided for top entry. Contact factory for
32 availability of bottom entry. Busbars are braced for 65 kA
(optional 100 kA rating available). All internal power wiring
connections from bus are laid out on a most direct basis
33 with minimum bends for ease of troubleshooting. Clear
barrier limiting access to live parts included standard
Modular tray design: Capacitor stages arranged in modu-
34 lar trays with capacitors, fuses, cleared-fuse indicating
lights, and contactors grouped in a logical, easily under-
stood layout. This permits easy access, quick identification
35 of operating problems, and ease of expandability
Fusing: UL recognized, 200,000 A interrupting capacity
36 provided on all three phases of each stage. Blade-type
fuses mounted on insulator stand-offs
Cleared-fuse indicating lights: LEDs located door-mounted
37 AUTOVAR FilterInterior View and neon at individual fuses to facilitate tracing of cleared
fuses
Push-to-test: Allows testing of door-mounted LED cleared
38 fuse indicating lights
AutoLocate: When door is open and bus is energized,
fuse circuit automatically checks for cleared fuses. If a
39 fuse has cleared, the light at the fuse turns on for easy
troubleshooting
40 Door interlock: Door interlock automatically turns off
control circuit when engaged. Power continues to be
provided to the unit until disconnect is open
41 Exhaust fans: Two side louver fans per cabinet provide
cooling and reduce operator exposure to discharge.
Replaceable dust filtering provided. Dust filters can be
42 replaced without opening cabinet
Ease of expansion: Capacitor stage nests are self-contained
and can be added in the field. Two bolts mount the nest in
43 the field. Control wire plugs connect to factory standard wire
harness on the left side of the cabinet

if you have any Special (S option)that letter must go at the end. If you would prefer the
4.7th harmonic tuning, do not include the Y in the part number. Other tuning frequencies

General Description
Transient-Free Statically Switched General Description

22
Capacitor Bank The Eaton transient-free statically
switched (TFSS) capacitor systems
represent the next level of power 23
system enhancements by using
semi-conductor devices to switch
capacitors at the same potential or 24
zero potential difference, thereby
eliminating the possible problem
of transients caused by capacitor 25
switching and increasing the speed
of capacitive var compensation. This
level of performance is needed when 26
high-current loads rapidly switch on
and off and require power factor,
voltage flicker, sag or harmonic 27
correction. These disturbances
can be found in many industries,
including rock crushing, arc-welding, 28
plastic injection molding and crane
applications.
Transient-free statically switched
29
capacitor units are available in two
broader models.
30
The FTE model is a real-time transient-
free system, used to compensate
extremely rapid loads within one cycle 31
of operation (typically 520 msec).
The FTA model is a fast transient-free 32
system, used to compensate any loads
within 34 seconds.
Units are available in a variety of
33
tuning orders/ percentage reactor
combinations.
34
Applications to correct power factor 35
and/or provide voltage support
Eaton Transient-Free Statically Switched Capacitor System
can include:
Flicker reduction
36
Motor starting
Bus voltage stabilization 37
Grid fault ride-through
On-site generation support
Spot welding
38
Wind turbines
Other dynamic loads 39
Three current transformers with a
5A secondary are required for proper 40
operation of a TFSS system. Primary
CT current rating is based on service
entrance ampacity. 41
Startup and commissioning by
factory-trained personnel is required
for proper operation and warranty of
42
a TFSS system.
