Add-on capacitor reduces peak power load.


An add-on A purchase of additional goods before payment is made for goods already purchased.

An add-on may be covered by a clause in an installment payment contract that allows the seller to hold a security interest in the earlier goods until full payment is made on the later goods.
 power unit that delivers stored energy to the machine at start-up as a means to cut power demand is new from Battenfeld of America, South Elgin, III. Its new "Reactive reactive /re·ac·tive/ (re-ak´tiv) characterized by reaction; readily responsive to a stimulus.

re·ac·tive
adj.
1. Tending to be responsive or to react to a stimulus.

2.
 Load" power capacitor capacitor or condenser, device for the storage of electric charge. Simple capacitors consist of two plates made of an electrically conducting material (e.g., a metal) and separated by a nonconducting material or dielectric (e.g.  comes in sizes from 7.5 to 75 kW for use with Battenfeld's hydraulic presses hydraulic press

Machine consisting of a cylinder fitted with a piston (see piston and cylinder) that uses liquid under pressure to exert a compressive force upon a stationary anvil or baseplate. The liquid is forced into the cylinder by a pump.
 from 27.5 to 550 tons. When the machine requires more power it draws it from the capacitor rather than the power line in the plant, lowering peak demand. Digital control responds to energy demand in fractions of a second and delivers balanced quantities of electricity that prevents spiking, Battenfeld says. Tel: (847) 531-0015 www.battenfeld.com
