LPC 5 kVAr, 400V, 50HZ Capacitor 004656705

Power factor correction capacitors – optimizing installation performance

LPC capacitors are reliable and proven devices designed to improve the power factor in electrical installations. They are used wherever there are inductive loads – transformers, motors, fluorescent lighting and other industrial equipment. Their task is to compensate for reactive power, which translates into reduced energy losses, network load and improved system efficiency. LPC capacitors with an internal connection in a ∆ configuration are characterized by a low-loss construction with metallized polypropylene film, ensuring long life and reliability.

Construction and characteristic features

LPC capacitors are of the dry type, filled with environmentally friendly polypropylene resin, which provides excellent heat dissipation properties. They are mounted in aluminum housings equipped with overpressure disconnectors – a safety element protecting against failures. The LPC 5 kVAr, 400V, 50Hz model has connector connections (faston), which facilitates quick and secure installation. The values of LPC capacitors are precisely matched to typical applications in industry and construction. This allows for effective reduction of reactive power consumption and lower electricity costs.

Application and benefits

LPC capacitors are widely used both in individual installations and in automatic capacitor bank systems. Their installation allows for:

• Reduced energy losses: Reactive power compensation reduces network load and minimizes energy losses associated with phase-shifted current flow.
• Improved power factor: Raising the power factor (cos φ) to a value close to 1 reduces electricity charges billed by suppliers.
• Increased network capacity: Relieving the network allows you to connect more receivers without the risk of overload.
• Extended device life: Reducing network load has a positive effect on the life of transformers and other electrical infrastructure elements.
• Safety: Built-in overpressure disconnectors and discharge resistors ensure safe operation of the capacitors and protect the installation from damage. The capacitors are equipped with discharge resistors guaranteeing a reduction of voltage at the terminals to a safe level of 75V within a maximum of 3 minutes after disconnecting the power supply.

Additionally, LPC capacitors are characterized by high quality workmanship and compliance with applicable safety standards. A wide range of available powers allows you to choose the right solution for each application.
