A step indicator made by symbols that can be easily realized by the user, is located on the upper part of the screen of VARkombi-12-PC-TFT-OG. No matter which part of the user in, this panel is always located on the top of the screen. Step numbers, the phase or the phases they are...
Connections Current direction L3 (T) L2 (S) L1 (R) Fuse compatible to the capacitor power connections are shown at pages 10 and 11. 230Vac Power Supply 50/60 Hz L3 (T) L2 (S) connections are shown at pages 10 and 11 (Fan output) L1 (R) (Alarm output)
Commisioning 11 12 1. Step : Number of Steps Current from M.V / Voltage from L.V (non-insulated) When commissioning the first time, Current from M.V / Voltage from M.V (insulated) measurement type must be selected ( 4 types). The device waits for the user to select one of Current from L.V / Voltage from L.V (insulated) these types.
Main Screens VARkombi-12-PC-OG has color 3.2 "TFT screen. The switch between pages and the key terms are provided on the bottom line of the display. The keys have different meanings in different pages. Steps, to which phase or phases they are connected, whether they are capacitors and/or reactors, temperature value, whether the fan and the generator are activated or not, all these can be observed on all main screens.
Power Factor The instant reactive power value (Q), active force values (P), power factor values (PF) calculated from their ratios (Q / P), vectoral representation of these forces, inductive - capacitive characterized loads, whether the systems is normal or not as per the accumulated energy can be monitored.
1. MENU This is the section in which many of the electrical measurements 11 12 are monitored and set-up are made. The parameters are MENU accessed by direction keys in the menu, parameters are inserted Harmonics ► by “Select” key and exit from the parameters by “Exit” key. Step Monitoring Voltage,Current,Frequency P.S.: Set-up section can only be accessed by password.
This is the section in which you can find all set-up regarding 11 12 the device. Password is entered. After commissioning of SET-UP VARkombi-12-PC-TFT-OG, any change of parameters is not Measurement Types ► required normally. However, it may be necessary for the Target TanΦ...
Measurement Type Settings – The device offers the possibility of 4 types , according to the connection. 11 12 Current from M.V / Voltage from L.V (without voltage transformer) There are two settings 1) MV – LV Ratio : The ratio of medium voltage to the low voltage value (phase to phase).

Therefore, step activating and de-activating periods of each phase can vary. For instance, while the step activating time for R-phase down to 2 seconds, the one for S- phase can be 7 sec. VARkombi-12-PC-TFT-OG analyze the system phase by phase and set-up the compensation rate for each phase seperately.

Inductive penalty limit ( % 3 – 50 ) – Settings This is the section in which the limit value of inductive/active % acceptable in compensation, is entered. This value is determined by electric distribution company and is recommended to setup a value slightly lower than requested to avoid penalty.
Advanced Setting Menu Settings – This is the section in which the parameters are not used very often. ΔT on Delay Time (0 – 3600 sec) Advanced Setting Menu - Settings – 1 7 10 This is the section in which the holding time between steps during step activating, is entered. The value is setup to the required step by using up and down keys starting from the digit where the blue line is.
Fast Step Mode Advanced Setting Menu – 10 4 Settings – This is the section in which the fast step mode is enable or disable. In case “enable” is selected, the device can activate many steps at the same time as well as de-activate them. If “Off” is selected, then the device makes only one step attempt at each time.
Step Parameters – Enter Step Powers 10 5 Settings – Advanced Setting Menu – This is the section in which the step powers are entered. The 11 12 device directs the user with subcommand display Kvar continuously. It is moved on the step of which the power is --------- --------- ---------...
Step Parameters – Step Change Control – 10 5 Settings – Advanced Setting Menu It' a useful function in terms of warning the user. First, it' s 11 12 better to clarify some definitions step alteration control page: Step Change Old value : The first internalized power of step.
– Over Voltage (enable) 1 7 10 6 1 Phase Alarms In case of over voltage during the activation of alert, alert is given and device warns the user. In this case; - capacitors and devices in the system may be damaged. - “Voltage protection activated”...
1 7 10 6 1 2 11 General Alarms In case of this alarm; only for VARkombi-12-PC-TFT-OG - This means unauthorized access from the outside. Change the password of modbus read-write of the device periodically and prefer to encode read-write different.
Alarm Setting Values 1 7 10 6 2 Alarm & Protection – Setting – Advanced Setting Menu – This is the section in which the alarm setup values are entered. – Over Voltage (230 – 270 V) 1 7 10 6 2 Alarm Setting Values This is the section in which the value of over voltage are entered.
– THD Voltage Setting (% 1 – 100) 1 7 10 6 2 Alarm Setting Values This is the section in which total harmonic distortion value (THDV) are entered for voltage. You may enter a value between 1% and 100%. The value is setup to the required value by using the up and down key starting from the digit where the blue line is.
Alarm & Protection – Fan Settings 1 7 10 6 3 Setting – Advanced Setting Menu – This is section in which the setup values of fan inputs are entered. – Fan Temperature Value (5 – 85 °C) 1 7 10 6 3 Fan Settings This is the section in which fan output activation value is entered.
– Harmonics Protection 10 6 4 3 Step Protection Function This is the section in which the protection function is activated or de- 11 12 activated against voltage harmonics. Voltage harmonic alarms Harmonic Protection (THDV and/or HDV) should be activated in order to operate protection function.
