- Controller hunting: - When putting the capacitor bank into operation, it is required to avoid needless switching cycles (means permanent switching on and off of steps without significant change of consumer load). This so called “controller hunting“ would increase the number of switching operations of the connected contactors and capacitors and decrease the expected life cycle (wear out) and, in worst case, capacitor bursting and fire, etc . This can be avoided by a proper programming of the BR6000 with the actual system parameters (current transformer prim. and sec., first kvar step, control series, switching time).
