Why Choose the DCRG8F?

Engineered for precise reactive power management, the Lovato DCRG8F automatic power factor controller with auxiliary supply streamlines power factor correction in modern panels. It handles 8 steps natively and expands to 32 with EXP modules, supporting thyristor modules for fast, reliable switching. Designed for straightforward integration, the DCRG8F helps optimise system performance while maintaining consistent operation across varied loads.

Built to rigorous international standards, this controller offers a 600 V rated insulation voltage (IEC/EN) and 9.5 kV impulse withstand capability. It operates from -20 to +70 °C and stores from -30 to +80 °C, suiting harsh environments. Weighing 980 g, it conforms to IEC/EN 61010-1, 61000-6-2, 61000-6-4, UL508 and CSA C22.2 N°14, and carries a Sustainability certification for responsible selection.
