Low Voltage Power Capacitors: Types, Features, and Applications #
Yuhchang Electric brings nearly 60 years of expertise to the manufacturing of low voltage (LV) capacitors. With a strong emphasis on technical advancement, comprehensive service, and product quality, the company has adopted modern production technologies and holds ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 9002 certifications for its capacitor products.
Types of Low Voltage Capacitors #
Yuhchang’s low voltage capacitors are available in two main types:
-
Oil-Type Low Voltage Power Capacitors:
- Constructed with metal cases.
- Capacitor elements are impregnated under high vacuum, resulting in low temperature rise and extended lifespan.
- Designed for operation in high ambient temperatures.
-
Gas-Filled Dry-Type Low Voltage Power Capacitors:
- Utilize aluminum cans for a compact form factor.
- Feature anti-fire properties and resistance to climate variations.
- Optimized for space-saving and cost efficiency.
Key Features #
- Self-Healing Mechanism: Ensures reliability and longevity by automatically repairing minor dielectric breakdowns.
- Low Dissipation Factor: Minimizes energy loss and heat generation.
- Long Service Life: Engineered for durability in demanding environments.
- Excellent Electrical Characteristics: Suitable for use in filter circuits, providing optimal heat dissipation.
- Safety Measures: Equipped with internal protective devices to prevent bursting and mitigate potential hazards.
- Environmentally Friendly: Oil-type capacitors use non-PCB, eco-friendly insulation oil. Dry-type capacitors are filled with nitrogen (N2), ensuring no environmental pollution.
- User-Friendly Design: Dry-type capacitors include features such as against electric shock terminals, easy connection, and a mounting stud at the base for simultaneous mounting and earthing.
Additional Merits of Dry-Type Capacitors #
- Nitrogen filling for environmental safety.
- Overpressure tear-off fuse for overload and failure protection in every phase.
- Compact and robust design for easy installation and reliable operation.
Applications #
- Power Factor Improvement: Enhances the power factor in low voltage power systems.
- Power Filter Circuits: Ideal for integration into filter circuits to improve system performance.
