A medium voltage (MV) capacitor panel is a capacitor metal enclosed panel that is
typically used in systems with less space and high
fluctuating loads. MV capacitor panels are made using film technology, where two metal
foil electrodes are separated by a sheet of plastic film. The electrodes are made of
aluminum foil, and the most common plastic film used is polypropylene. Film capacitors
are also known as all polypropylene (APP) capacitors.
A High Voltage APFC (Automatic Power Factor Correction) Capacitor Panel is an electrical
system used to improve the power factor of an electrical distribution network. Power
factor is a measure of how
effectively electrical power is being used. A low power factor indicates that a
significant portion of the electrical power is reactive power, which doesn't perform
useful work but still requires energy to be
generated and transmitted.
