ABB Power Capacitor

ABB power capacitors, particularly from their QCap series, are designed for low voltage applications to improve power quality and increase power factor in electrical networks. Key features include:

• Cylindrical and box-type designs made with metallized polypropylene film dielectric for high reliability and long life.

• Rated voltages typically from 415V to 525V, frequency 50 Hz.

• Power ratings generally from 1 kVAr up to 50 kVAr.

• Self-healing technology and non-PCB, semi-dry biodegradable resin impregnation.

• Equipped with safety features such as overpressure disconnector and discharge resistors.

• Capable of withstanding peak currents up to 200-250 times rated current.

• Compact and robust construction with extruded aluminum cans or powder-coated sheet metal enclosures.

• Applications include power factor correction, energy savings, and harmonic filtering in industrial and commercial installations.
