Description
GY-SVG Static Var Generator (220V–800V) Overview
The GY-SVG Static Var Generator (SVG) is a high-performance modular reactive power compensator covering AC 220V, 380V, 500V, 690V and 800V three-phase grids, with module ratings from 5 kvar up to 150 kvar and unlimited parallel expansion. Continuously injecting compensating current with a full response time of less than 10 ms, the GY-SVG corrects power factor to ≥ 0.99, balances three-phase loads and stabilises bus voltage — an ideal power-quality solution for industrial automation, wind & solar plants, EV charging, oil & gas, mining, commercial buildings, hospitals and data centers.
How the GY-SVG Works
The GY-SVG connects a voltage source converter (VSC) to the power grid through a filter in parallel with the load. By precisely regulating the amplitude and phase of the converter’s AC-side output voltage, the SVG dynamically generates a leading or lagging reactive current that exactly cancels the reactive demand of the load. Transient response is < 50 µs and full response < 10 ms, which prevents over- and under-compensation typical of capacitor-bank solutions.
Voltage Platform Lineup

|---|---|---|
| AC 220V | 3 / 5 / 7 / 10 / 17 / 25 / 37 / 50 / 75 kvar | 3P3W / 3P4W |
| AC 380V | 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 35 / 50 / 75 / 100 / 150 kvar | 3P3W / 3P4W |
| AC 500V | 90 kvar | 3P3W / 3P4W |
| AC 690V | 120 kvar | 3P3W / 3P4W |
| AC 800V | 150 kvar | 3P3W only |
Key Performance Highlights
DSP + CPLD architecture, three-level topology, advanced reactive-power detection algorithm and PWM control strategy.
A unified product platform from 220V LV up to 800V — covers virtually all industrial low-voltage networks.
Unlimited parallel connection of modules — flexibly scale capacity up to MVA-class projects, easy maintenance.
Separated air ducts and independent PCB compartments guarantee long-term, stable operation in harsh industrial environments.
Two current sampling inputs support multiple modes: LV-side sampling + LV-side compensation, HV-side sampling + LV-side compensation, or reactive-component compensation.
Reactive only — or reactive + three-phase unbalance compensation. (800V model: reactive compensation only.)
Reactive power compensation rate ≥ 99%; unbalance degree after compensation ≤ 5%.
Transient response < 50 µs, full response < 10 ms — precise compensation of impact loads such as welders, cranes and arc furnaces.
Two RS485 ports plus Wi-Fi support remote monitoring, parameter setting and diagnostics.
Available Form Factors
Top cable entry with built-in HMI — saves floor space, ideal for commercial buildings and distributed installations.
