Key Features
- Up to 1.2 kVAR of capacitive reactive load.
- Self-healing metallised polypropylene film (MPP) capacitors.
- Built-in discharge resistors bleed off the stored voltage automatically.
- Suitable for 50/60 Hz supplies.
- Capacitance is added in multiple independent steps.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Reactive capacity | 1.2 kVAR total |
| Load type | Capacitive (current leads voltage) |
| Frequency | 50/60 Hz |
| Capacitors | Self-healing metallised polypropylene film (MPP) |
| Discharge | Integrated discharge resistors |
| Load steps | Multiple independent steps |
How It Is Used
Switched across an AC supply, the capacitor steps draw a current that is ahead of the voltage in phase. Used alongside an inductive load such as a loading inductor bank, they cancel part of the lagging reactive current, so students can follow the improvement in power factor as each step is added.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Loading Capacitor 1.2KVAR Bank discharge after use?
Integrated discharge resistors bleed the stored voltage off the capacitors automatically once the supply is removed.
