Capacitor Banks
Introduction to Capacitor Banks
An Effective Solution for Power Factor Improvement and Energy Cost Reduction
Capacitor banks are essential equipment in industrial and distribution power networks designed to improve power factor and reduce energy losses. By compensating reactive power, these systems decrease the extra load on equipment and enhance the quality of supplied electricity.
Iran Transfo Substations Development Company designs and manufactures capacitor banks using high-quality components and international standards. These banks are available in fixed, semi-automatic, and automatic types and can be installed in power substations, factories, and various industries.
