In this post, we’ll address the most frequently asked questions about this model, helping you understand its features, applications, installation, and how to purchase it through an Authorized Channel Partner – Shansen Enterprises.
✅ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the ABB CYL HD 5kVAr Capacitor used for?
This capacitor is designed for low-voltage power factor correction in industrial and commercial electrical panels. It compensates for reactive power, reduces electricity bills, and increases the lifespan of connected equipment.
2. What are the key technical specifications?
- Model: CYL HD
- Rated Power: 5kVAr
- Voltage: 440V AC
- Frequency: 50Hz
- Dielectric: Self-Healing Metallized Polypropylene (MPP)
- Design Compliance: IS 13340:2012 / IEC 60831:2014
- Discharge Resistors: Built-in
- Max Temperature: Up to 55°C operating temperature
3. What is a Self-Healing MPP Dielectric?
The capacitor is made using Metallized Polypropylene Film, which automatically restores insulation after minor electrical breakdowns. This self-healing feature extends the product’s life and maintains performance without human intervention.
4. How does it help improve energy efficiency?
By correcting the power factor, it minimizes reactive power drawn from the grid. This reduces load on generators, transformers, and cables — increasing energy efficiency and reducing electricity penalties from utility providers.
5. Can I use this capacitor for outdoor applications?
Not directly. The ABB CYL HD capacitor is generally meant for indoor or panel-mounted installations. For outdoor use, install it inside weatherproof enclosures or capacitor banks rated for external environments.
