Beckwith Electric M-6280A Digital Capacitor Bank Control

The Beckwith Electric M-6280A Digital Capacitor Bank Control is single sensing

gang operated a complete solution designed for remote capacitor automation,

monitoring, and protection for utility distribution systems.

It is a universal control offering automatic Voltage, VAr, Current, Time

(seasonality) or Temperature operation with programmable voltage override.

The M-6280Aoffers multiple communication options – Fiber of RJ45 Ethernet,

Fiber optic, RS485. RS232. Bluetooth, and supports DNP3 and Modbus protocols.

It has data logging capability with continuous recording. Logged data is stored

in non-volatile memory, requiring no battery backup.

• Autodaptive features – Designed to allow coordination with upstream and

downstream distribution controller without communications.

• Time synchronization via DNP3.

• DNP mapping templates to support matching SCADA historical databases.

• Programmable DNP SCADA heartbeat for integrity check.

• Sequence of events (SOE) recording – up to 132 ms timestamped events.

• Harmonics detection, recording, protection, and suppression with current and

voltage tripping.

• Oscillography capture –selectable 16. 32. or 64 samples per cycle capture of sags,

swells, CBEMA events, and sub-synchronous transients.

• Setpoint Profile switching (8 Profiles).

• Cyber Security – comprehensive cyber security tools to implement NERC CIP

requirements

• includes IPsec and Radius server security.

• Smart Flash SD Card Slot for quick uploading of configurations, settings, and

firmware upgrades.

• Supports control cloning.

• Supports device discovery using CapTalk.
