FRAKO Power Factor Correction Capacitors – Reliability and Efficiency

FRAKO Standard capacitors, represented by model LKT 25-440-DP, are components designed to improve the power factor in electrical installations. They are used in both industrial and commercial applications where voltage stability and energy loss reduction are crucial. The construction of these capacitors is based on FRAKO's many years of experience in producing high-quality components for reactive power compensation.

Construction and Application

The LKT 25-440-DP capacitor is a three-phase capacitor designed to operate in 440V networks. Its main task is to compensate for reactive power, which results in reduced network load, improved voltage stability, and reduced electricity costs. The "DP" designation indicates the standard version of the capacitor, characterized by a solid construction and reliability. This capacitor is used in capacitor banks, switchgear, and directly at inductive loads, such as electric motors and transformers.

Characteristics and Benefits

The FRAKO LKT 25-440-DP capacitor offers a number of benefits for both installers and end-users:

• High reliability: FRAKO capacitors are manufactured with attention to detail, which translates into a long service life and minimal failure rate.
• Energy cost optimization: By compensating for reactive power, the capacitor reduces power consumption from the grid, which directly affects lower electricity bills.
• Improved energy quality: Voltage stabilization in the network through reactive power compensation protects sensitive electronic devices from damage.
• Easy installation: Compact dimensions (85 x 278 mm) and standard connections facilitate installation of the capacitor in existing electrical installations.
• Adaptation to various loads: The LKT 25-440-DP capacitor provides a reactive power of 25 kvar at a voltage of 440V (at a frequency of 50/60Hz), which allows for effective compensation of reactive power in a wide range of applications. The rated current is 32.8/39.4 A at frequencies of 50Hz/60Hz, respectively.
• Safety: The capacitor design ensures safe operation even in the event of overloads and short circuits.

The rated voltage of the capacitor is 440V. The rated power at a frequency of 50Hz is 25 kvar, and at 60Hz – 30 kvar. The rated capacitance is 137 µF (for three phases). The rated current is 32.8A (at 50Hz) and 39.4A (at 60Hz), respectively. The dimensions of the capacitor are 85 mm in diameter and 278 mm in height.

It is important to select the capacitor correctly for a specific application and to carry out regular inspections of the compensation installation to ensure its optimal operation and safety.
