LT & HT Capacitors

Efficient reactive power compensation for reliable electrical systems

What are LT & HT Capacitors?

LT (Low Tension) and HT (High Tension) capacitors are used for reactive power compensation in electrical systems to improve power factor, reduce losses and enhance overall system efficiency.

Electrical loads such as induction motors, transformers and fluorescent lighting consume reactive power, resulting in low power factor and higher current draw. Capacitors supply the required reactive power locally, thereby reducing system losses.

Alpine Power Solution supplies high-quality LT and HT capacitors designed for reliable operation in industrial, commercial and utility applications.

LT and HT Power Capacitors

Why Power Capacitors are Required

Reduce Electricity Penalties

Poor power factor leads to penalties from utilities. Capacitors help maintain power factor within acceptable limits.

Reduce System Losses

Improved power factor reduces current flow, resulting in lower losses in cables and transformers.

Increase System Capacity

Frees up capacity of transformers and generators without additional infrastructure.
