Frequently Asked Questions

What dielectric materials are used in ICAR power factor correction capacitors?
ICAR utilizes advanced, self-healing metallized polypropylene film with a high dielectric strength and exceptionally low losses. This robust construction ensures superior reliability and a prolonged operational lifespan in demanding power factor correction applications.
Can ICAR motor run capacitors operate in high-temperature environments?
Yes, ICAR motor run capacitors are engineered with specialized synthetic resins and high-temperature-rated films. This allows them to operate reliably in continuous duty applications with ambient temperatures up to 85°C, ensuring optimal motor performance.
How do ICAR harmonic filter reactors protect capacitor banks?
ICAR detuned harmonic filter reactors are precisely matched to capacitor banks to prevent resonance conditions and protect the capacitors from high-frequency harmonic currents. This drastically extends the life of the power factor correction system in polluted electrical networks.
Are ICAR rapid discharge resistors included with their industrial capacitors?
Yes, all ICAR industrial power capacitors are equipped with integrated discharge resistors. These safety components reliably reduce the residual voltage to below 50V within one minute of disconnection, ensuring safe maintenance procedures.
