ANTEX A8 Fixed Capacitor Banks for
Power Factor Correction
wpeC.jpg (3738 bytes)
Applications : These Antex A8 series have been specifically designed for applications for power factor correction systems in conditions having heavy stress of non linear loads. The recommended areas for use are Paper Mills, Cement Plants, Data processing centers, printing presses, steel mills, induction furnaces and all users who are connected to AC/DC static continuity units. These result in reduction in demand charges, release of transformer capacity, reduction in transmission losses and improved system voltages. These capacitors are of robust design and are built for 7 years life. For more stringent applications, Saha Sprague offers the SPRAGUE™ fixed capacitors for power factor correction with a 20 years life.
Construction:
 
The Antex A8 series is designed using the Antex A7capacitors. These Capacitors are designed using two layers of Polypropylene films which have been vacuum deposited with a special combination of metal alloys to act as electrodes of the capacitor. This film is would into elements using tension which is computer controlled so as not to stretch the film at the same time to ensure there is no air trapped in between the layers. These elements are then impregnated in a special low viscosity fluid and then assembled into Aluminum Cans, built with special pressure interrupters. These precludes any possibility of explosion of the capacitor unit under extreme conditions.
 
These capacitor units are then connected in delta, house in a MS sheet housing , which is powder coated . Discharge resistors are then attached, and the units are then put into its various levels of conditioning and testing. Each System comes with an individual base data and is serialized for tractability.
 
These Units are designed for easy assembly and is completely modular right from the 5 KVAR units to the 25 KVAR units, and don’t require Banking heads or bases., A range of easy banking accessories are available on request.
