IntelliCAP PLUS Automatic Capacitor Controls

EnergyLine's IntelliCAP PLUS Automatic Capacitor Controls are specifically designed for the control of pole-mounted and pad-mounted switched capacitor banks in electric distribution systems. This reliable, easy to use, and flexible device is ideal for both SCADA and stand-alone applications.

The IntelliCAP PLUS controls replace EnergyLine's 1000 Series. They retain the original product's versatility and high performance, while streamlining the electronics, using a more compact enclosure, and making installation and setup even easier – all for an affordable price.

The IntelliCAP PLUS control is easy to set up, operate, and troubleshoot via the IntelliLINK Setup Software. The faceplate keypad and 2-line LCD also let you monitor real-time data, view alarms, and adjust any setpoint without a computer.

This flexible control can meet a variety of needs:

Standard control strategies on all units: Voltage, time, temperature, time-biased voltage, time-biased temperature
VAR option: VAR and current control strategies
Neutral current/voltage option: Detection of blown fuses and stuck switches. The neutral current/voltage capability is standard in all software, which makes retrofitting as easy as adding a sensor.
3-phase option: 3-phase current and voltage sensing available for applications where detailed metering data is needed

All of the controls also include the following features:

Voltage/temperature override
Wide temperature range LCD
Support for a wide variety of communications hardware and software protocols. Communications hardware (radio, modem, etc.) can be mounted inside the control enclosure to save on installation costs.
SCADA override strategy
Automatic calculation of the voltage change (and kVAR change, if applicable) due to capacitor bank switching
User-enabled automatic daylight savings and holidays
Daily limit of automatic switching operations
Extensive data logging and graphing
Compact size (9.5" x 14.5" x 8.1")
Test points for sensor input, readily accessible from the front of the unit. Controls with 3-phase sensing include three voltage and three current test points.
4-jaw or 6-jaw meter bases, bracket mounting, or wall mounting. Bracket mounted units feature a true "plug & play" interface.

For the IntelliCAP PLUS controls with VAR, EnergyLine offers the inexpensive CS Series Current and Voltage Sensors. They are easy to use and install, and require no calibration.
