FRAKO capacitor type Standard LKT 5-400-DP P3110500

FRAKO Capacitors – Reliable Reactive Power Compensation

FRAKO LKT 5-400-DP Standard capacitor is an element designed to improve the power factor in electrical installations. This is crucial for efficient energy use, reducing network losses, and lowering electricity costs. This capacitor is used in both industrial, commercial installations, and residential buildings with higher power demands.

Construction and application

The LKT 5-400-DP capacitor is manufactured using metallized polypropylene film technology, ensuring high reliability and durability. It is designed for operation in three-phase systems with a rated voltage of 400V (with the possibility of operation at other voltages, as indicated in the documentation). Its main task is to compensate for reactive power, which allows relieving the power grid and improving its parameters. Capacitor installation requires appropriate knowledge and experience, therefore it is often carried out by qualified installers.

Parameters and performance

This capacitor model offers a rated power of 5.0/6.0 kvar at a frequency of 50Hz/60Hz. The rated current is 7.2/8.7A at a frequency of 50Hz/60Hz, respectively. This means that the capacitor is able to effectively compensate for the reactive power generated by devices with significant current draw, such as electric motors or transformers. The active power value adapted to the needs of the installation allows for optimizing the operation of devices and reducing energy losses.

Advantages of using FRAKO capacitors

• Improved power factor: Reducing the consumption of reactive power from the power grid.
• Reduced energy losses: Lowering electricity costs through more efficient energy use.
• Relief of the power grid: Reducing the load on transformers and cables.
• High reliability: Construction from high-quality materials ensures long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
• Compact dimensions: Facilitate installation even in tight spaces (dimensions: 60x150 mm).
• Wide voltage range: Possibility of use in various electrical installations (depending on the model).
• Safety: FRAKO capacitors have a multi-level protection system against overloads and short circuits.
