Abstract

La présente invention concerne un banc de condensateurs commutés utilisable dans de multiples combinaisons de commutation dans une alimentation électrique à courant alternatif. De multiples combinaisons de commutation sont possibles, augmentant la plage de puissance réactive disponible pouvant être fournie et la plage de valeurs de capacité disponibles en utilisant un nombre limité d'éléments électriques. Certaines des combinaisons possibles de commutation réduisent la contrainte sur le condensateur, augmentant ainsi la vie utile. Une caractéristique pour une décharge rapide est disponible dans certaines combinaisons de commutation, optimisant ainsi la sécurité et facilitant des opérations de commutation fréquentes. Les combinaisons de commutation utilisent des commutateurs de capacité de courant plus faible pour fournir une sortie de puissance réactive capacitive requise à partir du banc de condensateurs.
