CLMD Capacitors
CLMD Capacitors for reliable power factor correction
Dry type design
The ABB Low Voltage Capacitors, called CLMD, use dry type dielectric and therefore avoid any risk of leakage or pollution in the environment.
Very low losses
Dielectric losses are less than 0.2 Watt per kvar. Total losses, including discharge resistors, are less than 0.5 Watt per kvar.
Long life - Self-healing
In the event of a fault developing in the capacitor’s dielectric, the metalized electrode adjacent to the fault is immediately va- porized, thus insulating the fault. The capacitor then continues normal operation.
Fire protection
All elements within the CLMD capacitor are surrounded by vermiculite which is an inorganic, inert, fire proof and non toxic granular material. In the event of any failure the vermiculite absorbs safely the energy produced within the capacitor box and extinguishes any possible flames.

Unique protection system
A unique Sequential Protection System ensures that each individual element can be disconnected from the circuit at the end of its life.
Easy to install - light weight
The CLMD capacitor light weight makes it easy to handle and install.
High reliability
The use of robust terminals removes the risk of damage during installation and reduces maintenance requirements.
Security
Thermal equalizers are fitted to surround each capacitor element and provide effective heat dissipation. The CLMD capacitor is equipped with discharge resistors.
