Metal Enclosed Capacitor Banks

 Gilbert Electrical Systems produces a wide variety of capacitor assemblies which are well engineered and of excellent quality. We are the leader in capacitor and filter design.

We will design a system for you and present a very effective and practical method of improving your power factor. Applying capacitors properly to your system not only improves the power factor but also removes the reactive current from the circuit. This gives additional usable load capacity and improves the efficiency of appliances and motors.

Some of the benefits a system derives when adding capacitors are:
bulletImproves power factor of the system which saves money on your power bill.
bulletReduces the lagging component of the circuit current which reduces the overall current in the system.
bulletReduces I²R power losses in the system because of reduction in the circuit current.
bulletReduces I²X kilovar loss in the system because of current reduction.
bulletVoltage regulation is improved when the capacitors are properly switched.
bulletIncreases voltage level at the load.
bulletDecreases KVA loading which relieves overloaded conditions and releases capacity for additional load growth.
bulletReduces demand KVA loading where power is purchased.
bulletReduces investment in the system facilities per kilowatt of load supplied.

Standard Features:

bullet11 gauge steel with necessary angle and or/ channel supports mounted on a channel base. The roofs are crowned with heavy duty rain trough between sections
