IntelliCap 2000 Automatic Capacitor Controls are specifically designed to control pole-mounted and pad-mounted switched capacitor banks in electric distribution systems to regulate reactive power or line voltage. These reliable, easy-to-use, microprocessorbased controls normally operate autonomously based on the control strategy selected.

With a one-way communication device installed, an IntelliCap 2000 control can also operate in response to switching commands from SCADA or other centralized control. With a two-way communication device installed, local status information and feeder data are additionally available remotely. Remote configuration also is possible.

IntelliCap 2000 controls are superior to other two-way communicating capacitor controls, which only operate in response to centralized control commands based on measurements at the substation. With the normal stand-alone operation of IntelliCap 2000 controls:

• A communication problem won’t compromise VAR support.
•  A problem at one capacitor bank won’t affect other capacitor banks.
• Multiple contingencies are handled automatically.
• System changes and expansion don’t require extensive reprogramming.

Provide a Full Range of Automatic Functions

IntelliCap 2000 controls offer a wide range of software-selectable functions, including:

•  Voltage, time, temperature, time-biased voltage, and time-biased temperature control strategies (VAR and current control strategies are optionally available.)
• Voltage/temperature and SCADA override strategies (When enabled, the control returns to its regular control strategy after receiving a SCADA command.)
• Automatic calculation of voltage change (and kvar change, if applicable) due to capacitor bank switching
• Automatic adjustment for daylight savings time and holidays
• A daily limit on automatic switching operations

Undervoltage and overvoltage protection Neutral input sensing is optionally available and can lock out the capacitor bank if blown fuses or stuck switch poles are detected.
