IMPORTANT!:
When the C/K adjustment is configured under the real values, there will be a series of continuous
connections and disconnections with minor load variations. (The system performs more operations than
those actually needed).
When the C/K adjustment is configured as "high" (10%), the regulator will need a higher reactive power
demand to perform the switching operations and, therefore, perform fewer operations.
Calculation of the C/K Factor
In the case of values that have not been included in the table, the C/K factor can be calculated as follows:
The reactive power of the smallest capacitor Q and the grid voltage U must be known. The current of this
capacitor will be then calculated as
V.

The transformation ratio of the current transformer must also be known. This is the K factor:

I
prim
IK /=
where: Iprim is the nominal current of the transformer's primary (for example, it would be 250A in a 250/5)
Isec is the transformer's secondary current. Usually 5 A.
Therefore, the C/K factor will be:

For example: In a 400V unit, the smallest capacitor is 60 kVAr with a current transformer with a 500/5 ratio.
The calculation is as follows:

When the 60kvar power is referenced to 440 V, it must be multiplied by Ugrid^2/440^2, so that the previous
