Find answers about Static Var Generators (SVG), reactive power compensation, power factor correction, voltage stabilization, dynamic loads, VFD applications, industrial power quality and customized SVG solutions.
1. What Is a Static Var Generator (SVG)?
A Static Var Generator (SVG) is a power electronic device used for dynamic reactive power compensation and power quality improvement.
An SVG continuously detects the reactive power condition of an electrical system and injects or absorbs the required reactive current to help improve power factor, reactive power balance and voltage stability.
SVG systems are commonly used in factories, industrial production lines, renewable energy systems, data centers and other facilities with rapidly changing electrical loads.
2. How Does an SVG Work?
An SVG uses power electronic switching technology to generate a controllable compensation current.
The SVG monitors the electrical system in real time and determines whether the system requires capacitive or inductive reactive power compensation. It then adjusts its output accordingly.
Because compensation is electronically controlled, an SVG can respond to rapidly changing loads more dynamically than conventional fixed capacitor compensation systems.
3. What Problems Can an SVG Solve?
An SVG can be used to address several reactive-power-related problems, including:
- Low power factor
- Dynamic reactive power
- Reactive power fluctuations
- Voltage fluctuations related to reactive loads
- Three-phase load imbalance
- Rapidly changing inductive or capacitive loads
An SVG is primarily a reactive power compensation device. It should not be considered a replacement for an AVR or an active harmonic filter when the main problem is voltage regulation or harmonic distortion.
4. Can an SVG Improve Power Factor?
Yes. Improving power factor is one of the main applications of an SVG.
When an industrial system contains inductive loads such as motors, transformers, pumps and compressors, reactive power can reduce the overall power factor.
The SVG dynamically supplies or absorbs reactive power to help bring the system power factor closer to the required target.
Actual improvement depends on the load characteristics, existing compensation equipment and system operating conditions.
5. Can an SVG Help Stabilize Voltage?
An SVG can contribute to voltage stability by dynamically compensating reactive power, particularly in systems where voltage variation is related to rapidly changing reactive loads.
However, an SVG and an AVR perform different primary functions.
AVR: regulates the AC voltage level.
SVG: dynamically compensates reactive power.
If the main problem is a continuously high or low supply voltage, an AVR may be more appropriate. If the problem involves reactive power and power factor, an SVG may be required.
6. What Is the Difference Between an SVG and an AVR?
The main difference is their primary function.
| Equipment | Main Function |
|---|---|
| AVR | AC voltage regulation |
| SVG | Dynamic reactive power compensation |
| AHF | Harmonic current compensation |
An AVR is selected when the incoming voltage needs to be regulated. An SVG is selected when the electrical system requires dynamic reactive power compensation or power factor improvement.
In some industrial power-quality projects, these devices can be used together because they address different electrical problems.
7. What Is the Difference Between an SVG and a Capacitor Bank?
Traditional capacitor banks provide reactive power compensation through fixed or switched capacitor stages.
An SVG uses power electronics to provide continuously adjustable reactive compensation.
An SVG can therefore be advantageous for applications with rapidly changing reactive loads, where conventional capacitor banks may not respond as dynamically.
The appropriate solution depends on the load profile, compensation requirements, harmonic conditions, response requirements and project economics.
8. What SVG Capacity Do I Need?
SVG capacity is normally selected according to the required reactive compensation capacity, rather than the total active load in kW.
Important information includes:
- Existing power factor
- Target power factor
- Active power
- Reactive power
- Maximum reactive load
- Load fluctuation
- System voltage
- Single-phase or three-phase configuration
- Existing capacitor banks or compensation equipment
For an accurate recommendation, customers should provide power-quality measurements or electrical system data whenever available.
9. Can an SVG Compensate Dynamic Reactive Loads?
Yes. Dynamic reactive load compensation is one of the major applications of an SVG.
It can respond to changing reactive loads from equipment such as:
- Welding machines
- Large motors
- Cranes
- Compressors
- Rolling equipment
- Pumps
- Fans
- Industrial production machinery
For facilities where reactive demand changes rapidly, dynamic compensation can help maintain a more stable power factor and electrical operating condition.
10. Can an SVG Be Used with VFDs?
Yes. An SVG can be installed in industrial systems containing VFDs and variable-frequency drives.
However, the two devices perform different functions.
A VFD controls motor speed and frequency, while an SVG provides reactive power compensation.
VFD systems can also contribute to harmonic distortion, so if harmonics are a major concern, an AHF (Active Harmonic Filter) may be considered in addition to or instead of an SVG depending on the measured power-quality problem.
11. Can an SVG and AHF Be Used Together?
Yes. An SVG and AHF can be used together when an industrial facility has both reactive power and harmonic problems.
The functions are different:
SVG → Reactive power / power factor compensation
AHF → Harmonic current compensation
For example, a factory with large VFD loads may experience both low power factor and harmonic distortion. In such a case, an SVG can address reactive power while an AHF addresses harmonics.
The actual configuration should be based on power-quality measurements.
12. Can an SVG Compensate Three-Phase Load Imbalance?
Depending on the SVG configuration, an SVG may provide compensation for certain three-phase unbalanced load conditions.
This can be useful in industrial facilities where the three phases have significantly different reactive-current characteristics.
Before selecting the equipment, customers should provide phase-by-phase electrical measurements when load imbalance is a concern.
13. What Voltage and Frequency Systems Are Available?
SVG systems can be configured for different industrial electrical systems depending on the product design and project requirements.
The required specification may include:
- System voltage
- Frequência
- Three-phase configuration
- Compensation capacity

Yes. Products can be shipped directly to the customer’s company, warehouse, job site, or other agreed destination when the transportation arrangement allows it. Please provide the complete delivery address when requesting a delivered quotation.
