OMICRON CP CR500 | Compensating Reactor
 
Specialized compensating reactor designed for use with CPC 100 and CP TD1 testing systems. It performs dissipation factor (tan delta) and power factor testing on high-capacitance equipment such as generators, motors, cables, and transformers. By compensating reactive power through a resonant circuit with the test object, it ensures stable high-voltage output and highly accurate insulation diagnostics even for large, complex assets.
 
Features & Benefits
 
Max test voltage up to 12 kV AC for versatile testing capabilities.
Compensation capacity up to 500 nF, extendable to 1 µF with parallel units.
Wide frequency range from 15 Hz to 400 Hz to accommodate different test requirements.
Dual 40 H inductors, which can be configured for custom testing setups.
Current compensation up to 2 A in parallel mode for enhanced performance.
Supports resonance-based testing methods, improving accuracy and reliability of results.
Ideal for tan delta and insulation diagnostics on high-capacitance assets.
