Padmount Capacitor Banks
Scott’s padmount capacitor banks arrive fully assembled with capacitors, switches, fuses, PTs, and optional accessories. Each three‑phase unit supports 5–25 kV applications with ratings up to 1,800 KVAR, helping improve power factor, system capacity, and overall power flow for distribution networks.
Metal‑enclosed substation designs are also available, with capacities up to 9 MVAR or more to meet larger system requirements.
