Product Overview

SET-CAPD 450V low-voltage power capacitors are designed for indoor AC power systems below 1000V. They supply reactive power locally, improve power factor and reduce unnecessary current, cable losses and transformer loading. A practical voltage class for standard low-voltage automatic power-factor correction panels and centralized compensation banks.

The cylindrical aluminium housing combines compact installation with reliable heat dissipation. Metallized polypropylene film provides low dielectric loss and self-healing performance. A built-in discharge resistor and over-pressure disconnector add essential operating protection for capacitor-bank service.

Why Choose SET-CAPD

Low-loss self-healing film

High-reliability metallized polypropylene insulation limits temperature rise and restores small dielectric weak points during normal service.

Integrated safety protection

Over-pressure protection disconnects the element at end of life, while the internal resistor discharges residual voltage after switching off.

Flexible bank design

Multiple kVAR steps support automatic power-factor correction panels, fixed compensation and custom capacitor-bank combinations.

Industrial durability

Rated for indoor operation from −25°C to +50°C and installation altitudes up to 2000m.

Typical Applications

  • Automatic power-factor correction (APFC) panels
  • Centralized and local compensation in factories and commercial buildings
  • Motor, transformer and distribution-system reactive-power compensation
  • Detuned capacitor banks used with series reactors
  • Power-quality upgrades that reduce current and release transformer capacity

Installation & Operation Notes

  • Install upright in a dry, ventilated indoor enclosure with more than 30mm clearance between units.
  • Select a capacitor rated voltage at least 5% above the system nominal voltage.
  • For series-reactor systems, calculate the actual capacitor terminal voltage using the reactor ratio.
  • Where harmonics are present, use a correctly designed detuned reactor or harmonic-mitigation solution.
  • Keep the switching interval at 60 seconds or longer. After disconnection, wait at least 5 minutes and short the terminals before maintenance.
