Reactive Power Harm
Low power factor, fined by
government.
Reduce distribution system
effective capacity, need to increase
system capacity.
Increase power cost, low efficiency,
increase power loss and equipment get
hot.
Generate voltage drop caused by
reactive current, equipment is
derated.

SVG advantages
More stable running
Longer lifespan
Faster response
Wider running range
More stable capacity
More smooth adjustment
Lower harmonics
More stable system voltage

SVG
Fast response

compensation
SVG fast response time
<50us, total response time <15ms
SVG power factor compensation could follow load quick and
big change because of DSP fast and accurate arithmetic ability
and IGBT fast switching performance.
SVC
Under compensated
Over compensated
Traditional capacitor
could not respond load
change timely, over
compensation or under
compensation happen.

SVG
SVG generate equal value,
opposite direction
compensation current with
reactive power current.
If the compensation
current direction is
reversed, it is same as
reactive power current.
SVG could monitor reactive power change of load, and generate
equal value, opposite direction compensation current, realize PF0.99
accurate compensation effect.
SVG could compensate inductive and capacitive reactive power.
SVC
Traditional capacitor is
step compensation,
could not realize
accurate compensation.
Normally used for
condition with stable
reactive power change,
low dynamic

Modular
structure
SVG
Module type 50kvar/100kvar, rack
or wall mounted type, easy to install.
Free parallel, easy to increase
compensation capacity.
SVC
Free parallel connection to get
flexible capacity
N+1 redundancy, high reliability
Module independent running, no
effect to other modules in case of
problem.
Production line manufacturing
ensures good quality
Inductive, capacitive reactive
power compensation adjustable
Compact, light weight
Easy to maintain
Easy to install
Easy to move
Installation is fixed, difficult
to install or change onsite.
Difficult to expand on old
cabinet.
Selling Points

High Stability
Compensation effect safe and stable
SVG is active compensation facility, avoid resonance
from working principle, ensure safe and stable.
Compensation capacity stable
SVG is active compensation facility, not be affected
by system voltage fall, keep stable output capacity.
Compensation capacity is installation capacity.
System voltage stable
SVG is active compensation facility, without over
compensation or under compensation, ensure
system voltage constant.
