Getting Started

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

The EQUALIZER-ST has been designed to provide a lucrative solution for the challenges faced during large motor

start-ups. Typically demands during these start-up activities, create reactive currents that are 3-8 times of the

nominal current during a very short time period. Consequently, this leads to a voltage drop in the local

network that is not designed to withstand these temporary high currents. The EQUALIZER-ST compensates for

the demand in high reactive energy dynamically, only for the required time-period. This is in contrast to the

EQUALIZER that operates continuously, allowing for the provision of an integrated compensation system at a

lower price. The EQUALIZER-ST technology is based on the extended worldwide for years probed EQUALIZER

technology.

Before working with the system, please read this User Manual carefully and follow the safety precautions

contained in this chapter. The manufacturer will not be responsible for any incorrect usage. These precautions

must be used in conjunction with local or national health and safety regulations.

Here is how you should use the manual to assist in system set up and operation:

SYSTEM BENEFITS

EQUALIZER-STofferthefollowingbenefits:

Transient-free capacitor group switching, using electronic switching elements;

No damage to sensitive electronic equipment;

By reducing the current demand, it prevents voltage drops & secures a successful motor startup that falls

within the utility constraints;

A centralized motor startup solution for several and different motor types;

Improves motor torque during the start;
