Frequently Asked Questions – ABB 10kVAr, 440V Heavy Duty Cylindrical Capacitor

FAQ visual for ABB Heavy Duty Cylindrical Capacitor 10kVAr 440V 50Hz with packaging and product shown on table

Q1. What is the primary function of this ABB capacitor?
A: This capacitor is designed for Power Factor Correction (PFC) in low-voltage electrical systems. It helps improve energy efficiency by compensating for reactive power, reducing losses, and optimizing the load on transformers and generators.


Q2. What are the key specifications of this capacitor?
A:

  • Capacitance: 10kVAr
  • Rated Voltage: 440V
  • Frequency: 50Hz
  • Dielectric: Self-healing Metallized Polypropylene (MPP)
  • Design: Cylindrical with aluminum casing
  • Safety: Pressure-sensitive disconnector & discharge resistor
  • Article No.: 1HYC414007-108-1
  • Serial No.: BCXG1000114

Q3. What is a self-healing MPP dielectric and why is it important?
A: The self-healing Metallized Polypropylene (MPP) dielectric repairs minor internal faults by isolating damaged sections. This extends the capacitor’s lifespan and ensures consistent performance under fluctuating loads.


Q4. Can this capacitor be used outdoors?
A: It is primarily designed for indoor installation inside PFC panels or switchboards. For outdoor use, proper enclosure with weather protection is required.


Q5. What safety mechanisms are included?
A: It includes a pressure disconnector that safely disconnects the capacitor in case of internal pressure buildup, and an internal discharge resistor that ensures safe voltage discharge after the capacitor is switched off.


Q6. How is this capacitor packaged and shipped?
A: Each unit is packed in sturdy ABB-labeled boxes with QR-coded product labels, batch information, and anti-static protection. Shansen Enterprises ensures careful handling and timely delivery.


Q7. Is this product compliant with industry standards?
A: Yes, ABB capacitors are manufactured in accordance with international quality and electrical safety standards. They are widely trusted in industrial and commercial sectors.


Q8. What is the typical service life of this capacitor?
A: When installed correctly under recommended conditions, ABB capacitors with MPP dielectric can last more than 100,000 operating hours, offering excellent long-term value.


Q9. Can I install this capacitor myself?
A: Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician or technician. Incorrect wiring can lead to system failures or safety hazards.


Q10. Where can I buy this capacitor and how do I request a quote?
