12F616 - Switched Capacitor Bank VAR Controlled

Notes:

1. Engineer must specify Compatible Unit for desired capacitors:
   DB0115 - 300 kVAR (3 - 100)
   DB0116 - 450 kVAR (3 - 150)
   DB0117 - 600 kVAR (6 - 100)
   DB0118 - 900 kVAR (6 - 150)
   DB0119 - 1350 kVAR (9 - 150)
   If a capacitor bank size different than those listed above is required, the bank must be custom assembled from individual capacitor tanks.
2. The capacitor bank, switches, surge arresters, junction box, control cabinet, and current sensor must be grounded. Refer to the grounding diagram for Compatible Unit N0272.
3. Relocate neutral if necessary to provide clearance between bottom of capacitor tank and neutral.
4. A current will flow between the capacitor rack and ground when capacitor switches are open. If a break should occur in the ground wire, a hazardous condition would exist upon opening the switches. The ground wire must be visually checked when climbing the pole.
5. No work will be done on pole at or above capacitor bank level until the capacitors have been disconnected from line and discharged as follows:
   Before touching capacitor terminals, disconnect capacitor bank from the supply source, allowing five minutes minimum for discharge, then short and ground all terminals.
6. Refer to District Drawing B-1054, latest revision, for control wire schematic.
