Factory-assembled reactive power compensation cabinets built with Forte GRIDVAR modules. Available in three performance tiers — Standard (GRIDVAR-G), Compact (GRIDVAR-C) and Premium SiC (GRIDVAR-X) — each tailored to different load profiles and site requirements.
Forte SVG Panels are factory-assembled, fully tested reactive power compensation cabinets — each built around one of three GRIDVAR module tiers. The panel platform is standardized: CT, main breaker, HMI, controller and all internal wiring are common. Only the active module changes — giving you the freedom to choose the right performance level for your application.
GRIDVAR-G Panel — Standard Series. Advanced IGBT, 220V–690V, 30–100 kVAr/module. The cost-effective workhorse for general industry.
GRIDVAR-C Panel — Compact Series. High-density IGBT, 400V, 35–100 kVAr/module. Ultra-slim 88mm drawers for maximum cabinet density.
GRIDVAR-X Panel — Premium SiC Series. Silicon Carbide, 220V–380V, 30–150 kVAr/module. 4µs response for arc furnaces and extreme loads.
All three panel types deliver stepless reactive power compensation and simultaneous harmonic filtering (SVG + AHF in one system). Multiple cabinets operate in parallel for higher capacity. Factory tested, shipped complete, ready for site connection and immediate commissioning.
All three panels share the same cabinet platform. The active module determines performance characteristics.

A complete, factory-tested cabinet that eliminates on-site panel building — reducing project risk, installation time and total cost of ownership.
Every SVG Panel undergoes full factory acceptance testing (FAT) before shipment — including load simulation, protection trip verification and communication checks. Arrive on site ready to energise.
Built around Forte's proven GRIDVAR active SVG modules — the same technology used in standalone installations worldwide. Each module is individually replaceable for fast on-site maintenance.
Main circuit breaker, surge arresters, thermal sensors and overcurrent protection are all factory-installed and tested. No additional protection engineering required on site.
Optional touch screen HMI available in various sizes depending on module type. Real-time display of power factor, reactive power, voltage, current waveforms and system alarms for easy commissioning and operation.
Ethernet and Modbus RTU interfaces enable SCADA integration and cloud-based monitoring dashboards. Track system performance, receive alarms and schedule maintenance remotely.
Multiple SVG Panels operate in parallel with automatic load sharing. Start with the capacity you need today and add cabinets as your facility grows — no re-engineering of the existing installation.
From industrial substations to commercial buildings — wherever a turnkey reactive power compensation solution is required.
Main LV busbar compensation for factories with multiple production lines and variable reactive demand.
Centralised power factor correction for machining centres, presses and automated assembly lines.
Chiller plants, HVAC systems and lift motors. Compact cabinet fits standard electrical rooms.
Pumping stations with VFD-driven motors. Reactive compensation without capacitor resonance risk.
Temporary and permanent installations for crusher drives, conveyor systems and processing plants.
Rapidly cycling injection moulding and weaving machines with highly variable reactive demand profiles.
Refrigeration compressors, mixing drives and packaging lines in temperature-controlled environments.
Solar and wind farm auxiliary systems requiring reactive support at the point of grid connection.
