EPCOS 20 KVAr Phicap Power Factor Correction Capacitor is a high-performance capacitor designed to improve power factor, reduce reactive power losses, and optimize the efficiency of electrical distribution systems. Manufactured by EPCOS (TDK), it incorporates advanced capacitor technology to deliver reliable performance, low dielectric losses, and a long operational life in demanding industrial and commercial applications.

This 20 KVAr capacitor is widely used in Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) panels, capacitor banks, motor control centers, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and power distribution systems. It helps improve voltage regulation, reduce energy losses, enhance overall system efficiency, and minimize electricity costs resulting from poor power factor.

Designed for continuous duty, the EPCOS Phicap capacitor provides excellent thermal stability, high reliability, and consistent performance under varying electrical loads. Its compact and rugged construction makes it suitable for OEM panel builders, maintenance projects, new installations, and replacement applications.

Manufactured to meet international quality standards and compliant with RoHS requirements, the EPCOS 20 KVAr Phicap Power Factor Correction Capacitor is a dependable solution for improving the performance, reliability, and energy efficiency of modern electrical power systems.

Application: APFC Panels, Capacitor Banks, Industrial Plants, Commercial Buildings, Motor Control Centers & Power Distribution Systems
