LPC 12.5 kVAr, 400V, 50HZ Capacitor 004656751

LPC Power Factor Correction Capacitors – Effective Power Factor Correction

LPC capacitors are a reliable solution for reactive power compensation in electrical installations. Designed for use with inductive loads such as transformers, electric motors, and lighting, they allow for optimization of network operation and reduction of energy losses. These capacitors are used both in individual devices and in advanced capacitor bank systems.

Construction and Application

LPC capacitors utilize high-quality metallized polypropylene film, ensuring low losses and self-healing capability. Filled with non-toxic polypropylene resin, they effectively dissipate heat, guaranteeing long-term and stable operation. The dry construction, enclosed in an aluminum housing with overpressure disconnectors, ensures safe operation and reliability in harsh industrial conditions.

This makes LPC capacitors ideal for improving energy efficiency in industrial plants, commercial buildings, and energy infrastructure. Their versatility allows for use in new installations as well as modernization of existing systems.

Key Features and Benefits

• High quality workmanship: The use of metallized polypropylene film guarantees long life and reliability of the capacitors.
• Self-healing: The ability to repair minor dielectric damage minimizes the risk of failure and extends the service life.
• Safety: Built-in overpressure disconnectors protect against overloads and short circuits, disconnecting the capacitor from the network in the event of a failure.
• Fast discharge: Discharge resistors reduce the voltage at the terminals to a safe level (75V) within a maximum of 3 minutes after disconnection from the power supply – compliant with PN-EN-61048, PN-EN-60252 and EN-60831-1/2 standards.
• Flexible mounting: Possibility of mounting in vertical or horizontal position (horizontal mounting requires additional support).
• Terminals: LPC 12.5 kVAr capacitor is equipped with a screw terminal strip for easy and secure connection to the electrical installation.
• Wide voltage range: Available versions for voltages 400 V, 440 V, 460 V, 480 V, 525 V allow adaptation to different power systems.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning the possibility of using specialized ETIsON Curves software to analyze the characteristics of protective devices and simulate various short-circuit scenarios. This tool facilitates the design and optimization of reactive power compensation systems.
