Static Var Generators (SVG)

High-efficiency SVGs designed for greater safety and effective power quality compensation.

Static Var Generator (SVG) is the revolutionary new standard in reactive energy compensation. When the load is generating inductive or capacitive current, it makes the load current lag or leads the voltage. Quality Energy is pleased to offer our range of SVG to provide an immediate and effective response to power quality problems in low and high-voltage electric power systems.


Why Choose Static Var Generators?

A low power factor means you are drawing more current than you need. The Australian Energy Regulator allows electricity retailers to penalise businesses for the extra demand on the electricity grid. If your most recent power bill has a charge for kVA, then your Power Factor is probably inflating your bill.


Poor Power Factor can be improved by installing Power Factor Correction (PFC) equipment to correct your energy supply inefficiencies, reducing the total current and apparent power (kVA) demand on the electricity network and bring the power factor close to 1 (unity).


Quality Energy’s Static Var Generator (SVG) is an entirely new approach to power factor correction. The application of full-controlled technology improves the user’s system and makes THDi <5%, PF level to 0.99, with a three-phase balance to achieve the perfect and efficient power system.

Custom Power Factor Correction Solutions

High-Efficiency Reactive Power Compensation


Installing a Power Factor Correction (PFC) system, such as a Static Var Generator, is the most effective way to make long-term changes to your energy efficiency.


Quality Energy’s range of Static Var Generators is high-performing,

compact, flexible, modular and cost-effective to respond instantaneously and effectively to power quality problems in low or high-voltage electric power systems.


Power Factor Correction is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Quality Energy has been Australia’s leading Power Factor Correction specialist for over 30 years. We supply custom Low Voltage (LV) and High Voltage (HV) Power Factor Correction solutions Australia-wide for industrial and commercial settings. We are experts in managing projects for both LV and HV compensation. Our solutions are manufactured in our Melbourne-based facility using premium components, and we offer service and commissioning capability to our client's sites. 


The first step to reactive power compensation is to contact our team to arrange a Power Quality Audit of your business to determine what specifications your SVG will need.

  • Testimonial from Rupe Virk, Head of Projects Jalplas

    In early 2020 our site in Thomastown was experiencing power quality issues that was affecting our critical manufacturing equipment. After contacting Quality Energy and having them conduct a Power Quality study, it was determined we required a 200A Active Harmonic Filter to help eliminate our harmonic pollution and protect our entire infostructure. Quality Energy designed, installed and now maintain our Active Harmonic Filter and we have had a clean bill of health since the installation took place.

  • Testimonial from Chris James, Kurv Living

    In June 2020, Kurv Living were faced with several power outages due to the quality of the power entering our manufacturing facility. After completing extensive Power Quality diagnostics, Quality Energy determined that we had high harmonic levels that were causing our critical machinery to shut down. Quality Energy then installed a 200Amp Active Harmonic Filter in September of the same year and we haven’t had any issues since.
