LPC 30 kVAr, 440V, 50HZ Capacitor 004656765

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 improve energy efficiency and reduce network load. These capacitors are used both in individual devices and in automatic capacitor bank systems.

Construction and Application

LPC capacitors utilize metallized polypropylene film, characterized by low losses and self-healing capability. Filled with environmentally friendly polypropylene resin, they provide excellent heat dissipation properties, resulting in long life and stable operation. The capacitor construction includes aluminum containers with overpressure disconnectors, protecting against failures caused by overloads or overheating. Two types of connections are available: connector (up to 5 kVAr) and screw (above 5 kVAr), simplifying installation in various configurations.

Key Features and Benefits

• High Reliability: The use of high-quality materials and advanced technologies ensures long-lasting and trouble-free operation of the capacitors.
• Self-Healing: Metallized polypropylene film enables automatic repair of minor dielectric damage, extending the device's lifespan.
• Safety: Built-in discharge resistors guarantee a rapid voltage reduction on the terminals after power disconnection (to 75V within 3 minutes), minimizing the risk of electric shock. Additionally, the internal overpressure disconnector protects the capacitor bank from serious damage in the event of a failure of one of the elements.
• Versatility: A wide range of rated power (from 1 to 50 kVAr) and rated voltages (400 V, 440 V, 460 V, 480 V, 525 V) allows the capacitor to be adapted to various installation needs.
• Easy Installation: The availability of connector and screw connections simplifies integration with existing systems. The ability to mount in a vertical or horizontal position increases installation flexibility.
• Overvoltage Protection: The internal overpressure disconnector provides additional protection against the effects of overvoltages and harmonics.
