FRAKO Standard capacitor type LKT 10-400-DP P3110380

Power factor correction capacitors – power optimization and reliability

The FRAKO Standard LKT 10-400-DP capacitor is an element used to compensate for reactive power in electrical installations. This is a key solution for improving energy efficiency, reducing network losses, and lowering electricity costs. FRAKO capacitors, known for their high quality and reliability, are used in both industrial, commercial installations and in residential buildings. The Standard version guarantees good performance while maintaining a reasonable price.

Construction and application

The LKT 10-400-DP capacitor uses metallized polypropylene film as a dielectric, which ensures high strength and long life. It is designed for operation in three-phase systems with a rated voltage of 400V and a frequency of 50/60Hz. Its main task is to improve the power factor (cos φ) by providing reactive power, necessary for the correct operation of inductive devices, such as electric motors or transformers. This reduces the load on the power grid and limits energy losses.

The use of FRAKO capacitors allows for:

• Improving the energy efficiency of the installation

• Reducing the load on the power grid

• Lowering electricity bills

• Increasing the reliability of device operation

• Protection against harmonic disturbances

Characteristics and benefits

The FRAKO LKT 10-400-DP capacitor is characterized by a rated power of 10.0 kvar at a frequency of 50Hz and 12.0 kvar at 60Hz. The rated current is 14.4A (50Hz) and 17.3A (60Hz), respectively. The Standard version means a solid construction adapted to work in typical environmental conditions. This ensures stable operation and long-term operation.

It is worth paying attention to a few key advantages:

• High quality of workmanship: FRAKO capacitors are manufactured with attention to detail, which guarantees their reliability and durability.
