Power Factor Correction Capacitors
480VAC - Save Money & Boost Power

• Reducing or eliminating expensive utility penalties for low power factor
   
• Reducing power losses in cables and transformers
   
• Increasing power transmission capacity in cables
   
• Increasing available transformer capacity
   
• Improving voltage stabilization in long cables
   

• Self‑Healing Capacitor Elements‑ One or more self‑healing capacitor elements are installed for each phase. These elements are connected in Y or Delta. In case of dielectric break down, the fault is cleared by evaporation of the metalized layer around the breakdown with negligible loss of capacitance and continued operation of the capacitor!
   
• Nonflammable Dry Vermiculite Filler‑ Vermiculite is a dry, granular insulating material that is solid, inert and fire proof. This material fills all open spaces in the enclosure to isolate the capacitor elements and exclude free oxygen.
   
• Internally Protected Elements‑ A unique Sequential Protection System including the IPE design (IPE ‑ internally protected elements) ensures that each individual element can be disconnected from the circuit at the end of the element's life.
   

• Discharge resistors (one for each phase) are sized to ensure safe discharge of the capacitor to less than 50 volts in one minute or less as required by the NEC.
   

• Large terminal studs are located inside the enclosure at the top of the capacitor for quick and easy cable connections
   

• All ABB enclosures are made of welded heavy gauge steel. Available enclosure types include Indoor NEMA 1, Outdoor Raintight, and Indoor Dusttight. (RAL 7035, Light Gray)
