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.
Capacitors for Other Applications
Power Capacitors Ltd stocks, standard designs & specialist design
service meet the majority of Power Electronic and Motor Capacitor
requirements.
Other Capacitor Products:
In addition to those listed above, Power Capacitors Ltd. is able to
supply:
- Medium Voltage Capacitors, 50-400kVAr, 3kV-12kV
- Passive Filter Banks, to design requirements
- Active Filter Banks, to over 400Amps
- Hybrid Filter Banks, to design requirements
