Capacitor FRAKO type Basic LKT 20-400-DB P3110418

FRAKO Capacitors – Reliable Reactive Power Compensation

FRAKO Basic LKT 20-400-DB capacitors are components designed to improve the power factor in electrical installations. They are essential for efficient energy utilization, reducing losses, and lowering operational costs. Manufactured using metallized polypropylene film technology, they offer high reliability and durability, with a design suitable for operation at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequencies.

Characteristics and Applications

The LKT 20-400-DB capacitors are used in reactive power compensation systems in industrial, commercial, and public utility buildings. By compensating for reactive power, these capacitors reduce the load on the power network, improve power quality, and minimize transmission losses. They are ideal for use in electrical distribution boards, control cabinets, and directly near inductive loads.

This model features a rated power of 20.0/24.0 kvar at 400 V and 50/60 Hz. The rated current is 28.9/34.6 A respectively. This capacitor is particularly suitable for applications with high inductive loads, such as electric motors or transformers.

Construction and Installation

The FRAKO Basic LKT 20-400-DB capacitors feature a robust construction ensuring long-term operation. Their compact dimensions (85 × 215 mm) facilitate installation even in space-constrained environments. The net weight of the capacitor is approximately 1.55 kg. Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable standards and safety regulations. Proper ventilation at the installation site must be maintained to ensure optimal operating conditions for the capacitor.
