LPC 5 kVAr, 440V, 50HZ Capacitor 004656713

Power factor correction capacitors – reliable operation and efficiency

LPC 5 kVAr, 440V, 50Hz capacitor is a component designed to improve the power factor in electrical installations. It is used to compensate for reactive power generated by inductive loads, such as motors, transformers, or lighting. By reducing reactive power, the capacitor contributes to reducing energy losses, lowering network load, and improving the energy efficiency of the entire system. This is a solution for both industrial and commercial installations.

Construction and application

LPC capacitors from the LPC series are characterized by a dry construction, filled with non-toxic polypropylene resin. This ensures excellent heat dissipation properties and long-term reliability. The internal connection in a ∆ (delta) configuration makes them ideal for operation in three-phase power networks. This capacitor has connector connections (faston), which facilitates quick and safe installation. This makes the installation simple and intuitive, both for professionals and people with basic electrical knowledge.

Key features and benefits

• High quality workmanship: LPC capacitors use metallized polypropylene film with low losses, which ensures long life and stable operation.
• Safety: Equipped with an internal overpressure disconnector, which disconnects the capacitor from the network in the event of a failure or exceeding the permissible operating parameters – protecting the capacitor bank from more serious damage.
• Fast discharge: Capacitors have discharge resistors guaranteeing a reduction in voltage at the terminals to a safe level (75V) within a maximum of 3 minutes after disconnection from the power supply – increasing work safety.
• Versatility: Possibility of mounting both in vertical and horizontal position (horizontal mounting requires additional support).
• Easy installation: Connector connections (faston) facilitate connection to the electrical installation.
• Compliance with standards: The design meets the requirements of PN-EN-61048, PN-EN-60252 and EN-60831-1/2 standards.
