What is Static VAR Generator? And its Application


A Static VAR Generator (SVG) Hybrid Active Power Factor Correction system is a device connected in parallel with the load to be compensated. The device is a controlled current source which provides a current waveform in real time.

Application of Static Var Generator


  • Installations with fast changing reactive power demand like electric arc furnaces and ball mills
  • Highly dynamic loads where the power factor fluctuates rapidly or in big steps like cranes, sawmill machinery, welding machines, etc.
  • Correction of leading power factor like in data centers, enabling back-up generators to more easily synchronise with the network
  • UPS systems.
  • Solar and wind turbine generators.
  • Railway electrification systems: Trains & trams
  • Loads with low power factor: Motors, cables, lightly loaded transformers, lighting, etc.
