Project Overview

Optimal Power installs and pre-commissions capacitor banks and harmonic filters across the full voltage spectrum — from medium voltage distribution through to extra high voltage transmission networks — typically in C-type configuration with auxiliary capacitor banks, damping resistors, and bespoke protection systems.

Scope Highlights

  • 2 MVAr (MV) to 200 MVAr (EHV) installation
  • C-type harmonic filter configuration
  • Air core reactor installation & testing
  • Shunt & current limiting air core reactors
  • Bespoke protection system installation
  • Pre-commissioning testing & client reporting

★★★★★
"This has been a very challenging project for us — it is by far the largest 66kV harmonic filter and capacitor bank in the country, designed and installed in a brownfield site under difficult conditions. The assistance we got from Optimal Power in the execution of this work was so valuable — from the initial meetings with the client through the installation work, rectification of defects, dealing with evolving requirements, and through final testing and handover. We could not have done it without you and your team."
