LV Capacitor QCap - L Series

Improving power quality for efficiency and reliability of electrical network

Power Quality is a major concern for all size of business industrial or commercial. It impacts energy usage costs, pollution levels and CO2 emissions, equipment failure, malfunctioning and lifetime reduction as well as maintenance costs. ABB‘s new low-voltage capacitor- QCap, helps improve the power quality of low voltage installations by addressing poor power factor issues. QCap is a cylindrical and box type capacitor. It is based on ABB‘s latest technologies and developments and is a result of more than a century‘s knowledge on electrical engineering and over 70 years of expertise on capacitor technologies.

QCap answers the following customer needs:

Reliability: Capacitors can be of poor quality if made with non-capacitor grade-film. ABB‘s strict selection criteria of raw materials and it‘s first class capacitor film ensure QCap‘s high reliability.
Quality: The unique low losses design of the QCap decreases the temperature of the capacitor and increases it‘s lifetime. The optimized thermal dissipation prevents premature failure which is not uncommon with many low quality capacitors.
Safety: At the end of its lifetime the capacitor must disconnect itself safely. specially designed overpressure disconnection device by ABB guarantees a safe disconnection.
Consistency: A consistent quality over time is most often a challenge for manufacturers. ABB tests 100% of its products with criteria surpassing even international standards.
