1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Information
Power factor controllers are used for measurement and control of power
factor control units for central reactive power compensation. The power
factor, which is defined as ratio of active power (W to apparent power
(VA , measured by power factor controller is compared with the set values
to provide necessary compensation.
RM-12P power factor controller is designed for reactive power compensation
in single phase and 3-phase systems.
RM-12P compensates each phase separately and so, this makes
RM-12P series a unique solution for unbalanced load compensation. In
order to perform this process, single phase and 3-phase capacitor steps
must be connected to the device at the same time.

2. INSTA ATION
When RM-12P is powered-up for the first time, if the power value of
any phase is negative, RM-12P switches on&off the first capacitor step
automatically and it recognizes and records the connections.
Later, automatic setup (Refer to page 6 - Automatic setup is selected
on the menu in order to automatic recognition of the connections and
connected capacitor steps.
After automatic recognition, RM-12P checks all capacitor step values.
If variable loads exist in the system, first of all these variable loads must
be disconnected and then automatic setup process must be done.
Otherwise, power factor controller may not measure capacitor step powers
correctly. Capacitor step powers and connection types also can be
recognized to the power factor controller manually.
(Refer to page 10 - Setting of the capacitors connection and power values
After the recognition of capacitor step powers, target Cosj
value is set in order to start the compensation. Factory set value for target
Cosj is ind. 1.000 and Cosj2 is ind. 0.900
Note: PFC decreases the switching on&off time to 3 seconds in
Automatic Setup mode but discharge time is not changed. After the
automatic setup process, set values become valid.
Device finds connection errors and corrects automatically. Power
values of the capacitor steps are measured automatically according
to program selection. If PS-10 program is selected, power values of
all capacitor steps are measured (Refer to Program Section . If any
other program is selected, device measures first capacitor step value
and then calculates other capacitor steps according to the selected
program. For this reason,
a 3-phase capacitor must be connected to the first step. Then, single
phase and / or 3-phase capacitors can be connected with random
sequence to the other steps.

3.4 Switching Program Setting
RM-12P has 10 different program modes which determines the
power ratio sequence of the capacitor steps.
Three different switching programs are supported by RM-12P.
a) inear Operation: The switching program begins always from
the first step to the last one in both switching on and off mode.
The advantage of this switching program is the possibility of a
large selection of capacitor steps. This switching program is
selected by 01 option.
b) Rotational Switching: This switching program is rotational
between equal steps in the clockwise direction and this switching
program is rotational to ensure that the capacitor switching cycles
are uniformly distributed over all steps and to provide minimum
switching steps for maximum service life time of the system.
There are 8 different rotational switching programs (02, 03, 04,
05, 06, 07, 08, 09 .
The ratio between capacitor steps is very important. When choosing
the ratio between capacitor steps, the rating of each capacitor
step value may exceed that of the first by a maximum amount
equal to the of the preceding capacitor steps value.
c) PS-10 Program: If PS10 program is selected, RM-12P
calculates electrical parameters of the capacitor steps
automatically. RM-12P counts swithing on&off times of all capacitor
steps and so most necessary step is switched on.
Thus, maximum service life time of the system is ensured.
NOT: In PS-10 program, connection types and power values of the
single phase capacitor steps can be set by user. In Auto setup mode
power values of all capacitor steps are measured.
In other switching programs, only first capacitor steps power value
can be set (except PS-10 program). Other capacitor steps power value
are calculated automatically according to the first capacitor steps
power value.
Press UP/DOWN buttons to select program (Prog) menu.
In this menu capacitor steps sequence is selected.

Switch-on delay time must be set according to system requirement in
order to achieve compensation targets and also to provide long life time
for contactors and capacitors.
3.5.a Switch-On Delay Time Setting
Note: t-on and t-of time periods must be set according to the systems
requirements. If t-on time is set very long, relay can not switch on until
the end of this time period and so target compensation ratios can not
be achieved.
If t-on time is set too short, capacitor steps switch on&off frequently
incase of fast load variations and this causes to shorten the life time
of contactors and capacitors. For this reason, it is very important to
set these time periods according to your systems requirement.
