Q – CAP 04 A
Q-CAP is a new conduction cooled capacitor, based on the design of the well-known C-CAP capacitor.
Q-CAP offers significant cost savings on both capacitor and bus-bar, without compromising performance.
Q-CAP merges the efficiency of conduction cooling with the performance of coaxial capacitor design.
Cooling of the Q-CAP is achieved by pressing a bent copper pipe (OD/ID 8/6 mm, radius 50 mm) into a built-in groove on each of the Q-CAP electrodes.
Q-CAP Cost per kVAr ratio is the lowest among all of Celem’s product.
The coaxial structure creates a homogenous current repartition, which prevents hotspots that limit the performance of other types of capacitors.
The magnetic field from the busbar is confined between the busbars. The capacitors are mounted outside of the magnetic field.
This is in contrast with other capacitor technologies. The bus bar is reduced to its simplest and most effective design.
