The BR 5016 is a 16-step controller. This means it can manage up to 16 capacitor stages to inject reactive power into the grid, compensating for inductive loads like motors, transformers, and compressors. Its popularity stems from its robust design, clear LED display, and versatility (supports both standard and heavy-duty contactors).
The BR 5016 supports two algorithms:
The is a microprocessor-controlled power factor controller designed for automatic power factor correction (PFC) in low-voltage electrical networks. Manufactured by EPCOS (now part of TDK Group), this device is widely used in industrial and commercial facilities to optimize reactive power, reduce energy costs, and improve grid stability. --- Epcos Power Factor Controller Br 5016 Manual Pdf
