GE Multilin's C70 Capacitor Bank Protection and Control System is based on the well-established and proven UR platform. Today, shunt capacitor banks play an increasingly vital role in blackout prevention and reactive support. Protecting this equipment has historically involved complex, custom protection schemes consisting of multiple products that rarely addressed the inherent system and bank unbalance.
Now, there's a single universal product, called the C70 from GE Multilin, combining advanced bank protection with automatic control for shunt capacitor applications. The current and voltage-based protection functions are designed to provide superior protection for grounded, ungrounded, tapped, single and parallel capacitor banks, supporting any capacitor bank configuration. The C70's balance protection elements provide unprecedented sensitivity due to unique auto-compensation implementations. The capacitor control function facilitates single and multiple implementations of volt, VAr, power factor and time of day control.
