Low-voltage capacitors QCap

Low-voltage capacitors for power factor correction and improving power quality

As a source of reactive power, Hitachi Energy low-voltage capacitors QCap provide significant improvement of power quality and reduction in energy cost by:

  • Reducing or eliminating expensive utility penalties for low power factor 
  • Reducing power losses in cables and transformers
  • Reducing the installation size
  • Increasing power transmission capacity in cables
  • Increasing available transformer capacity
  • Improving voltage stabilization in long cables

Applications

QCap capacitor units are used in industrial and commercial installations for reactive power compensation applications.
