Reactive power controller The reactive power controllers of KBR leave nothing to
be desired. The compact controller multicomp 144 lcd
is above all used in small facilities. The multicomp 4d6
modules are bus compatible and can be integrated into
the KBR system. The modular system allows a control of
reactive current compensation to be set up quickly and
easily. By adding a safety and maintenance module to the
controller, the unique securec® procedure can protect
facilities from overvoltages and overcurrents.

Power capacitors The power capacitors multicond uhPc stand out through
their high durability at extreme ambient temperatures.
3-phase internal overpressure disconnector and 2-fold cur-
rent carrying capacity are further quality features.

Filter circuit reactors The filter circuit reactors multiind are characterized by
high linearity and low losses.

Audio frequency blocking devices The audio frequency blocking devices multiton reliably
block off the ripple signal of the energy supplier.

Thyristor switches Rapid switch actions are no problem with the thyristor
switch thyroswitch.

Mobile network analysis multilog is a mobile network analyzer which is used to


continually record a wide range of measured values, such
as voltage, current, frequency, power, energy consumption,
flicker emissions, harmonics and interharmonics. Small
dimensions enable it to be installed in enclosed spaces
and switchgear cabinets.

BLUEWAvE The active harmonics filter BluEwaVE belongs to


the new generation of active harmonic filters which
reliably analyze disruptions in the network and send out
