EPCOS 5 KVAr Phicap Power Factor Correction Capacitor is a high-performance capacitor designed to improve power factor, reduce reactive power losses, and enhance the efficiency of electrical distribution systems. Manufactured by EPCOS (TDK), it is built using advanced technology to deliver reliable performance, low power losses, and a long operational life in demanding industrial and commercial environments.

This 5 KVAr capacitor is widely used in Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) panels, capacitor banks, motor control centers, industrial plants, commercial buildings, and power distribution systems. It helps reduce electricity losses, improve voltage stability, increase system efficiency, and minimize penalties associated with poor power factor.

Designed for continuous operation, the EPCOS Phicap capacitor offers excellent thermal stability, high reliability, and consistent performance under varying load conditions. Its compact construction and robust design make it suitable for new installations, panel manufacturing, maintenance, and replacement applications.

Engineered to meet international quality standards and compliant with RoHS requirements, the EPCOS 5 KVAr Phicap Power Factor Correction Capacitor is a trusted choice for improving the performance and efficiency of modern electrical power systems.

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