DCRG8 - EXPANDABLE 8STEP POWER FACTOR CONTROLLER

Why Choose the DCRG8?

The Lovato DCRG8 automatic power factor controller delivers dependable, contactor‑based correction with an auxiliary supply for straightforward panel integration. With 8 control steps as standard and expansion up to 24 via EXP modules, the DCRG8 helps maintain target power factor across varying load conditions. Designed for industrial and commercial boards, it supports efficient reactive power management while simplifying installation and scaling when future capacity is required.

Engineered for resilience and compliance, the controller features a rated insulation voltage Ui of 600 V and a rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp of 9.5 kV. It operates reliably from −20 to +70 °C and stores from −30 to +80 °C. Conforming to IEC 61010‑1, IEC/EN 61000‑6‑2, IEC/EN 61000‑6‑3, UL 508 and CSA C22.2 n°14, the 980 g unit supports assured performance in demanding environments.
