LPC 15 kVAr, 440V, 50HZ Capacitor 004656762

LPC Capacitors – Effective Reactive Power Compensation

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 fluorescent lighting, they improve energy efficiency and reduce operating costs. These capacitors are used both in individual devices and in automatic capacitor bank systems.

Construction and Characteristics

LPC capacitors utilize metallized polypropylene film with low losses, providing self-regeneration and long life. Filled with environmentally friendly polypropylene resin, they effectively dissipate heat. Mounted in aluminum housings with overpressure disconnectors, they guarantee safe operation. The LPC 15 kVAr, 440V, 50Hz model has a diameter of 100 mm and a length of 225 mm, and its capacitance is 82.2 µF. The use of a dry dielectric eliminates the risk of leaks and ensures stable operation in various environmental conditions.

Application and Benefits

LPC capacitors are ideal for both professional installers and end-users looking for a reliable solution to improve the power factor. By compensating for reactive power, the capacitors reduce the load on the electrical network, reduce energy losses, and improve voltage stability. As a result, this translates into lower electricity bills and a longer lifespan of electrical devices. Additionally, LPC capacitors are equipped with discharge resistors, which reduce the voltage at the terminals to a safe level (75V) within a maximum of 3 minutes after disconnection from the power supply – increasing safety and facilitating maintenance work. The internal overpressure disconnector protects the capacitor bank from serious damage in the event of a failure of one of the elements.
