RGM-12S Single-Phase 12-Stage Reactive Power Control Relay
The RGM-12S is an advanced, micro-processor controlled single-phase reactive power controller designed to optimize power factor correction (PFC) across commercial and industrial electrical networks. Outfitted with an intelligent switching algorithm and a 12-stage step control capability, this automation module automatically connects or disconnects capacitor banks to match real-time inductive loads, minimizing grid penalties and improving overall energy efficiency. Its integrated, back-lit LCD screen serves as a highly readable field dashboard, tracking critical system variables such as active power factor, current, voltage, and localized harmonic distortion variables.
Key Features
-
Intelligent 12-Stage Step Control: Dynamically manages up to 12 separate capacitor steps, ensuring a balanced distribution of switching runtime and fine-tuned reactive power compensation.
-
Clear Backlit LCD Interface: Features a multi-variable display screen that shows numerical power metrics, active stepping indicators, and clear parameter configuration menus for straightforward commissioning.
-
Tactile Menu Navigation: Integrated with four heavy-duty front-panel navigation buttons (Up, Down, Escape, and Set/Enter), allowing on-site engineers to calibrate switching delays and Target C/K thresholds without external software tools.
-
Comprehensive Protection & Monitoring: Tracks critical power anomalies—including overvoltage, undervoltage, over-temperature, and harmonic thresholds—to shield vulnerable capacitor banks from premature thermal degradation.
-
Compact Flush-Panel Profile: Designed with side-clamping retention modules for secure, clean flush installation inside main low-voltage distribution boards or localized control cubicles.
