Usually in our series on "Product of the Week" we actually recommend a group of goods. These are items that we think will interest a wide audience. More importantly: their quality and functionality, as distributors, we can confirm with our own experience. This week we are not recommending a group of items to our customers, but only one specific component: this is the capacitor brandElectronicon. The purpose of this three-phase component with a capacity of 137µF is to improve power factor.
Capacitor 275.278-513700/221K02 is made using polypropylene technology. It remains compliant with many international safety standards: EN 60831-1/2, IEC 60831-1/2, VDE 0560-46/47 and UL 8102. The element is equipped with discharge resistors (built into the body), thanks to which no voltage is maintained on its leads, even if the circuit between the capacitor and the load is opened in the application after the device/installation is turned off.
The recommended capacitor can operate at 400V AC and 440V AC, making it suitable for applications requiring continuous load operation and in most typical power circuits.
Capacitors of this type are widely used in various industries, mainly due to their ability to improve power factor. They are used in industrial power systems for voltage stabilization and energy loss reduction. In automation systems they power control systems and eliminate electromagnetic interference. In renewable energy, such as photovoltaic systems and wind turbines, these capacitors increase energy conversion efficiency.
