Integrated power factor correction capacitance unit
First Claim
1. An integrated power factor correction unit for electronic association with a load having identified load criteria, comprising:
- a housing;
a capacitive unit capable of storing an electric charge which is sized according to said load criteria, said capacitive unit being mounted within said housing;
a contactor switch electrically connected to said capacitive unit which is also sized according to said load criteria, said contactor switch also being mounted within said housing; and
at least one interconnector which provides said electrical connection between said capacitive unit and said contactor switch which is also sized according to said load criteria, said at least one interconnector also being mounted within said housing.

Abstract
An integrated power factor correction unit incorporates presized, preselected components within a housing structure. The integrated unit is intended to be selected and preassembled according to certain known criteria of the anticipated load and applied as a unit. The unit is also designed to mate easily to the load, both electrically and physically. The unit is further designed to occupy a minimum amount of space for ease of mounting near the load. The unit comprises at least one capacitor and a contactor. A fuse is optional. The unit may be manually or automatically engaged and remotely monitored for status.
