Low-voltage capacitors CLMD

Capacitor units are building blocks for any power quality solution to mitigate issues like low power factor, voltage variations and harmonics. Hitachi Energy’s CLMD range of capacitors offers such rugged and flexible building blocks to build such solutions for most challenging environments.

Made with first-class components developed in-house by Hitachi Energy, CLMD is available in a wide range of ratings to suit the need of each individual customer. Optimally designed capacitor elements, built around a high-performance metallized film, ensure low energy losses. Sheet steel enclosure provides high degree of safety for the capacitor unit as well as the solution. The use of dry type dielectric minimizes the risk of leakage and contamination, while a ‘self-healing’ combination of electrode and dielectric ensures safe operation in case of an internal fault. Robust terminals minimize the risk of damage during installation and reduce maintenance requirement.
 

• Compliant with global standards like IEC 60831 and equivalent, CLMD capacitors play a significant role in improvement of power quality and reduction in energy costs through many ways, for example:
  
• Reducing or eliminating expensive utility penalties for low power factor 
• Reducing power losses in cables and transformers
• Increasing power transmission capacity in cables
• Increasing available transformer capacity
• Improving voltage stabilization in long cables

CLMD capacitors are used in power quality solutions for industrial and commercial networks, especially in case of challenging environments, like:

• Mining and minerals industry
• Chemical, oil & gas (COG)
• Offshore exploration platforms
• Ports and marine vessels
• Pulp and paper
• Other industries
