Efficient Power Factor Correction for Low Voltage Systems

High-performance Low Tension (LT) capacitors designed to enhance power factor, reduce energy losses, and improve system efficiency in industrial and commercial applications.

LT Capacitors

Usha Capacitors, under the brand “USHA Electric,” offers a robust range of Low Tension (LT) capacitors engineered for reliable power factor correction in low voltage systems. Utilizing advanced metallized polypropylene film technology, these capacitors are self-healing, ensuring long operational life and safety. Available in heavy-duty and super heavy-duty variants, our LT capacitors are ideal for both fixed and automatic power factor correction (APFC) applications. Compliant with IS:13340, IS:13341, and IEC-60831 standards, they deliver superior electrical performance with minimal dielectric losses.

Key Features
  • Self-Healing Technology: Metallized polypropylene film ensures automatic recovery from internal faults, enhancing durability.

  • Low Dielectric Loss: Approximately 0.2 W/kVAr for high efficiency and reduced heat generation.

  • Non-PCB Impregnation: Environmentally safe, non-toxic impregnating fluid for compliance with RoHS standards.

  • Compact Design: Lightweight and space-saving, ideal for panel integration.

  • Overpressure Disconnector: Built-in safety mechanism to prevent capacitor failure under overvoltage conditions.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Powder-coated, rust-proof enclosure for indoor and outdoor use.
