LPC 20 kVAr, 440V, 50HZ Capacitor 004656763

LPC Capacitors – Effective Reactive Power Compensation

LPC capacitors are reliable and proven devices designed to compensate for reactive power in electrical installations. They are used both in individual loads (transformers, motors, rectifiers, lighting) and in automatic capacitor bank systems. Their task is to improve energy efficiency, reduce losses in the network, and lower electricity costs. Using LPC capacitors allows for optimizing the operation of the electrical installation and increasing its reliability.

LPC capacitors with an internal delta (∆) connection utilize metallized polypropylene film with low losses, ensuring high efficiency and long life. The dry construction, filled with non-toxic polypropylene resin, guarantees excellent heat dissipation properties, and the aluminum housings with overpressure disconnectors ensure safe operation. This makes these capacitors resistant to environmental conditions and able to operate in a wide temperature range.

Construction and Characteristics

LPC capacitors are characterized by a solid construction and high quality workmanship. They are available with various types of terminals – connector (up to 5 kVAr) and screw (above 5 kVAr) – which facilitates their installation and connection to the installation. All capacitors in the LPC series are equipped with discharge resistors, which ensure a safe reduction of voltage at the terminals after disconnection from the power supply (to a level of 75V within 3 minutes). Additionally, the internal overpressure disconnector protects the capacitor bank from serious damage in the event of a failure.

• High dielectric quality: Metallized polypropylene film with self-healing properties ensures long-term and reliable operation.
• Safety: Internal overpressure disconnector protects against damage caused by overvoltage or overheating.
• Fast discharge: Discharge resistors ensure safe voltage reduction after power off.
• Versatility: Wide range of rated power (from 1 to 50 kVAr) allows you to match the capacitor to different needs.
• Installation flexibility: Possibility of mounting in vertical or horizontal position (horizontal mounting requires additional support).
• Durability: Dry construction filled with polypropylene resin ensures resistance to environmental conditions and long life.

Technical Parameters and Application

An LPC capacitor with a power of 20 kVAr, a voltage of 440V and a frequency of 50Hz has a diameter of 100 mm and a length of 225 mm. The rated capacitance is 109.6 µF and the rated current is 26.2 A. It is designed to operate in a temperature range from -25°C to +55°C. Thanks to its parameters, it is perfect for industrial and commercial applications requiring voltage stabilization and reduction of energy losses. This capacitor is ideal for improving the power factor in power supply networks for induction motors, transformers and other devices generating reactive power. The use of this capacitor translates into a reduction of the load on the power grid and an improvement in the quality of electricity supplied to end users.
