Power Factor Correction Capacitors
Beaver Electrical’s low-voltage Power Factor Correction Capacitors are built for longevity and performance. We assemble our capcitor banks in Canada using high quality materials which meet CSA standards.
General Specifications
- Voltage Options: 208V, 240V, 480V, 600V (additional options include 380V, 400V, 415V upon request)
- Frequency: 60 Hz standard; 50 Hz available
- Phase: Three-phase standard; single-phase available
- Interrupting Rating: Standard fused 200 kA, non-fused 10 kA
- Operating Temperature: -40°C to +40°C
- Service Life: 10 years in optimal conditions
Enclosure Features
- Constructed from 16-gauge steel with a powder-coated ASA 61 finish
- CSA Type 3R, suitable for wall or floor mounting
- ½” and ¾” knockouts and gasketed “L” cover with front access screws
- Enclosure size depends on capacitor rating. Refer to the size chart inside the manual. [Link]
Technical Features
- Dielectric Fill: Thermosetting polymer resin, ensuring no fluids or PCBs
- Dielectric Film: Self-healing metallized polypropylene
- Discharge Resistors: Reduces residual voltage to below 50 volts within one minute of de-energization
- Efficiency: Losses of less than ½ watt per kVAR
Applications
Ideal for individual motors, motor control centers, and distribution networks, our capacitors help improve system efficiency and reduce energy costs.
Optional Features
- Fused and non-fused units
- Blown fuse indicators, contactors, and timers for customized functionality
- Enhanced enclosures for demanding environments, including CSA Type 4/12 (watertight/dust-tight) and CSA Type 4X (stainless steel)
Warranty
All capacitors come with a one-year warranty.
Sizing Support
If you require assistance, Beaver’s Engineering team can help you calculate the optimal power factor correction capacitor size. Please provide 3-12 months of electrical utility bills, or detailed motor data, and email them to [email protected].
Is the KVB30S/F and PFC30S capacitor the same as KVB30SF?
Yes, all part numbers refer to the same capacitor model. The presence or absence of the forward slash ("/") does not affect the specifications or functionality. The prefix PFC is a legacy or alternate part number.
