Power Capacitors Ltd
Power Factor Correction Equipment
Power Capacitors Ltd has been a leading specialist in
the design, application, manufacture and supply of Power Capacitors
since 1973. The company has been at its present Birmingham factory for
over 25 years, benefiting from the ample production space and easy
access to the country’s motorway networks. Power Capacitors Ltd supplies
capacitors for Power Factor Correction, Harmonic
Filters, and Power Electronics applications to
Industrialists, Equipment Manufacturers, Electricity Supply Companies
and Contractors alike. Comprehensive stocks of capacitors and associated
equipment enable quality products to be produced at competitive prices
and within short delivery periods. Quality
Working within the policies of BS EN ISO9001:2000
approval, all equipment is manufactured and tested to all
appropriate standards.
Power Factor Correction
In addition to reducing the load on electrical
distribution equipment, power factor correction can also
reduce the charges made for electricity by the Supply Company. These
add up to increased supply capability and increased distribution
network life. The reduction in losses and reduced CO2 emissions are
also increasingly important in today's environmentally aware
society. Capacitor Products
The extensive range of capacitor products
supplied by Power Capacitors Ltd enables almost every requirement
for power factor correction to be satisfied by a standard product.
Where a solution does not already exist, our specialist engineers
are able to offer a custom solution, designed specially around a
particular set of requirements. Whilst standard designs are rated at
415V 3 phase 50Hz, other voltages and frequencies are readily
accommodated.
Capacitor Elements - Power Capacitors PowerCan
In cylindrical aluminium casings, from 0.25kVAR
to 25kVAr, these are ideally suited to the individual power correction of
motors in a motor control centre. Their compact dimensions and
minimum IP2X rating make them ideal for this application.
Capacitor Modules
Ranging from 5kVAr to 100kVAr, these consist of
MKP capacitor elements mounted in a zintec sheet steel enclosure to
IP42. They are suitable either for the power factor correction of
individual loads, or as the stages of an automatic system. When
required, they can be provided with an integral MCCB for local
isolation. Capacitor Chassis - Formula Range
The capacitor chassis types ACA and ADA comprise
capacitors, contactors, main and control fusegear on a backplate
mounting assembly. They are for use as the building blocks of an
automatic system, housed within a switchboard or MCC. The Formula 50
range has a maximum rating of 50kVAr, the Formula 150 range can be
fitted with up to 150kVAr. Both types are available with DIN or BS
fusegear, suitable for standard or de-tuned systems, according to
the particular requirements of a system. Chassis types ACA are for
use on standard systems, types ADA are for use with de-tuning
reactors on systems subject to harmonic distortion. Type ACR feature
chassis mounted reactors for reduced cabling and ease of assembly.
Capacitor Cubicles - PowerCab & PowerCabPlus
By utilising any of the technologies or
specifications mentioned above, Power Capacitors Ltd is able to
design and manufacture capacitor systems to suit any application.
Standard designs range from 50kVAr to 450kVAr with both standard and
de-tuned systems incorporating a range of dimensions, incoming cable
arrangements and stage sizes. The PowerCab range is suitable for use
on standard systems, the PowerCabPlus range includes detuning
reactors for use on systems prone to harmonic distortion. Custom
designs to suit almost every requirement are available on request.
Capacitor Maintenance
As with any other industrial equipment, the
regular maintenance of Power Factor Correction equipment is
essential. Regular servicing ensures that the rated output is
maintained, maximising the financial, technical and environmental
benefits. Power Capacitors Ltd is able to service and repair almost
every LV capacitor installation regardless of the manufacturer.
