Capacitor Bank

A collection of capacitors connected in an electrical circuit to store and release electrical energy quickly, enhancing power quality.

Capacitor banks are assemblies of multiple capacitors connected together in an electrical circuit to store and release electrical energy quickly. These devices are used to enhance power quality in electrical systems by providing reactive power compensation, voltage stabilization, and harmonic filtering. Capacitor banks help improve the efficiency of power transmission and distribution, reducing energy losses and minimizing voltage fluctuations. They are commonly used in industrial plants, commercial buildings, and power substations, where they support the stable operation of electrical equipment and reduce the strain on the power grid. By supplying reactive power locally, capacitor banks help maintain a balanced voltage level, preventing drops and ensuring consistent power delivery. Their ability to quickly respond to changes in load conditions makes them an essential component in modern power systems, enhancing overall reliability and performance. The use of capacitor banks also contributes to cost savings by reducing the need for additional power generation and minimizing energy wastage.
