Cape Town Capacitor Component Breakdown

What are capacitors & capacitor banks used for?

The capacitors and capacitor banks are used in the energy sector (power factor correction), green energy generation (wind and photo voltaic power plants), traction systems and induction heating equipment.

Where can I buy electrical components in South Africa?

Thank you for your support! Best viewed at 1024x768 or higher screen resolution on IE 8 or later. Electroparts is a well established electrical wholesaler and distributor based in Cape Town and also has offices in Johannesburg allowing them to supply a vast range of electrical components throughout South Africa.

What are the different types of capacitor banks?

The capacitors are available in Single and Three-Phase design for voltages up to 24kV and 1000kVar, and can be supplied with pressure sensors operating from 230V/50Hz supply voltage. Capacitor banks type SCB and ACB are used for individual or central power factor correction in medium voltage power networks.

What is a ZEZ Silko capacitor bank?

The capacitor banks are available for voltages up to 36kV and power ratings up to 10MVAr. The ZEZ Silko capacitor bank type SCA is used for individual or central power factor correction in medium voltage power networks. The capacitor banks are constructed on steel frames according to customer specifications.

What are automatic capacitor banks?

For complex technical solutions, automatic capacitor banks are equipped with automatic PFC regulation and vacuum contactors. The capacitor banks are available for voltages up to 36kV and power ratings up to 10MVAr. The ZEZ Silko capacitor bank type SCA is used for individual or central power factor correction in medium voltage power networks.

What is a cyclical MKP capacitor?

Cylindrical MKP type capacitors designed for individual, group or central power factor correction in low-voltage networks. The MKP system consists of metallised polypropylene foil with self-healing properties and extremely low dielectric losses. Capacitors are filled either with inert gas (N2) for CSADG types or semi solid resin for CSADP types.
