IntelliCAP® Automatic Capacitor Controls
The S&C IntelliCAP Automatic Capacitor Control is designed for the control of pole-mounted, switched capacitor banks in electric distribution systems. This reliable, easy to use, and flexible device has the benefits of an intelligent, microprocessor-based control for about the same price as an electromechanical capacitor control.
The IntelliCAP control is easy to set up, operate, and troubleshoot via the IntelliLINK® Setup Software. The faceplate switches and LCD also let you monitor real-time data, view alarms, and adjust most setpoints without a computer.
Key benefits of the IntelliCAP control include:
- Standard control strategies on all units: Voltage, time, temperature, time-biased voltage, time-biased temperature
- VAR option: VAR and current control strategies
- Compact size (6.5" x 6.5" x 4.375")
- Faceplate LCD
- Voltage/temperature override
- Automatic calculation of the voltage change (and kVAR change, if applicable) due to capacitor bank switching
- User-enabled automatic daylight savings and holidays
- Daily limit of automatic switching operations
- Extensive data logging and graphing
- 4-jaw or 6-jaw meter bases, or bracket mounting
- Faceplate setup for most typical installations.
For the IntelliCAP control with VAR option, S&C offers the inexpensive CS Series Current and Voltage Sensors. They are easy to use and install, and require no calibration.
