LPC 20 kVAr, 400V, 50HZ Capacitor 004656753

Power factor correction capacitors – improving energy efficiency

The LPC 20 kVAr, 400V, 50Hz capacitor is a key element in power factor correction systems, designed to effectively improve the power factor in electrical installations. Used both in individual loads (transformers, motors, rectifiers) and in automatic capacitor banks, it allows you to reduce energy losses and lower operating costs. LPC capacitors with an internal connection in a ∆ configuration utilize advanced metallized polypropylene film technology, ensuring high reliability and long life.

Design and characteristic features

LPC capacitors are dry-type devices filled with environmentally friendly polypropylene resin. This solution provides excellent heat dissipation properties, which translates into stable operation even under high loads. The aluminum housing protects the internal components from mechanical damage and environmental influences. The capacitors are equipped with overpressure disconnectors – an important safety feature that protects the installation in the event of exceeding the permissible operating parameters. The use of discharge resistors guarantees a rapid voltage drop at the terminals after disconnection from the power supply (to 75V within 3 minutes), minimizing the risk of electric shock during servicing or maintenance.

Application and benefits

LPC capacitors are widely used in various industries as well as in commercial and public buildings. Their installation allows for:

• Reduction of energy losses: Improving the power factor reduces the consumption of reactive power, thereby reducing energy losses in the network.
• Lower operating costs: Lower energy consumption translates into lower electricity bills.
• Improved voltage quality: Reactive power compensation stabilizes the voltage in the network, which affects the correct operation of electrical devices.
• Increased network capacity: Improving the power factor releases power reserves in the network, allowing you to connect additional loads.
• Protection of devices: Stable voltage and reduced network load protect electrical devices from damage.

The LPC 20 kVAr capacitor is characterized by a diameter of 100 mm and a length of 225 mm. It has a rated capacitance of 132.6 µF and is designed to operate at a voltage of 400V and a frequency of 50Hz. This makes it a reliable solution for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
