Power Capacitors
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 21 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 ISO9001:2000 approval, all equipment is manufactured and tested to all appropriate standards.

Power Factor Correction Equipment

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 - The Power Capacitors PowerCan

In cylindrical aluminium casings, from 0.25kVAR to 25kVAr, these are ideally suited to the individual 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 - The 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 - The PowerCab and 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.
