LPC 10 kVAr, 400V, 50HZ Capacitor 004656750

LPC Capacitors – Effective Reactive Power Compensation

LPC capacitors are a reliable and proven solution for reactive power compensation in electrical installations. They are designed to work with various inductive loads, such as transformers, electric motors, rectifiers, and fluorescent lamps. Installed both individually and in automatic capacitor bank systems, they allow for optimization of network operation and reduction of energy losses.

LPC capacitors with an internal delta (∆) connection utilize high-quality metallized polypropylene film, providing low losses and self-healing. The “dry” type construction, filled with environmentally friendly polypropylene resin, guarantees excellent heat dissipation properties and long-term reliability. The aluminum housing protects against mechanical damage and ensures safe operation.

Construction and application

LPC capacitors are available in various power ratings, tailored to the needs of specific applications. The LPC 10 kVAr, 400V, 50Hz model is characterized by a capacitance of 66.3 µF and a diameter of 85 mm and a length of 225 mm. They have screw terminals, ensuring a secure and durable connection to the electrical installation.

The wide range of applications includes:

• Industry: reactive power compensation in production plants, workshops and factories.
• Construction: improving the energy efficiency of public and commercial buildings.
• Energy sector: voltage stabilization in power grids.
• Home installations: reducing electricity bills by reducing reactive power consumption (in the case of larger installations).

Safety and functionality

LPC capacitors are equipped with a number of safeguards that ensure safe and reliable operation:

• Discharge resistors: guarantee a reduction of voltage at the terminals to a safe level (75V) within a maximum of 3 minutes after disconnection from the power supply.
• Internal overpressure disconnect: disconnects the capacitor from the network in the event of exceeding the permissible operating parameters (e.g. overheating), protecting the capacitor bank from damage.
• Self-healing dielectric: minimizes the risk of permanent damage to the capacitor in the event of insulation breakdown – local repair of the insulation occurs without the need to replace the device.

Additionally, the capacitors have a CE certificate confirming compliance with European standards and are manufactured by a renowned manufacturer – ETI Polam Sp. z o.o., which guarantees high quality workmanship and reliability.
