L.T. Power Capacitors

WHY USE POWER CAPACITORS?
It is obligatory for every customer of electric power to maintain power factor close to unity. Normal Power loads(KW) being inductive in nature, necessitate excess apparent power supply(KVA) and need capacitive loads (KVAR) for correction.

  • Reduced power costs due to reduction in KVA demand.
  • Pervention of low power factor penalities.
  • Release of system capacity due to reduction in total current drawn from the mains.
  • Reduction in power losses, increase in efficiency of the system and life of electrical transmission equipment.
  • Reduction in voltage drop, improving voltage regulation.
  • Reduction in size of cables, transformers and switchgear with consequent lowering in capital costs.
  • Cost of capacitor is recovered in a short period.
  • 100% depreciation can be claimed in the first year, under Income Tax Ac

TIBCON HEAVY DUTY CAPACITORS

TIBCON MPP Heavy Duty Capacitors are specially designed to meet demands of heavy-duty industrial loads such as forging shops, rolling mills, rectifiers etc., TIBCON heavy Duty Capacitors are built with the correct degree of protection, to withstand higher over current and higher surge voltages..

SALIENT FEATURES

Use of Heavy Edge Film
TIBCON Power capacitors are manufactured with Aluminum - Zinc or Silver - Aluminium - Zinc metallised, heavy edge M.P.P Film which ensures better bonding between the electrode layer and the end spray. Heavy edge has high current carrying capacity and ensures better withstand of the electro-mechanical stresses.

Self-Healing Property
The Power Capacitors have excellent self-healing property whereby any electrical short circuit inside the element is cleared in milliseconds without affecting the norma; operation of the capacitor.

Low Energy Consumption
The low energy consumption keeps the internal operating temperature low, extends the useful life of the Power capacitor and reduces operating costs.

High Temperature Capability
Low dissipation of MPP Film combined with the superior thermal conduction property of the encapsulant permits operation under high temperature condition.

Modular Construction
TIBCON Power Capacitors are available in modular construction. This construction enables easy and inexpensive repair at site and also saves an spares inventory cost.

Inductor Coils
TIBCON Power capacitors are provided with inductor coils to control the inrush current to the capacitors. This feature ensures long term stability of KVAR output and extends their life.

Compact in Size
TIBCON Power Capacitors are designed for compactness and efficient cooling. Thus, capacitors ranging upto 8 KVAR are compact in size and the higher rating capacitor units are provided with ventilation.
