Tronic Capacitor Duty Contactor 16KVAR for Power Factor Correction
TSh 61,500
Our review
This Tronic contactor is built for capacitor switching rather than ordinary load control. In power factor correction panels it connects three-phase capacitor banks, whether a single step or several, and its job is to tame the heavy starting current that capacitors draw at the moment of switching. That inrush is what wears out standard contactors, so a dedicated capacitor duty unit is the sensible choice for anyone maintaining or building a PFC installation. It suits electricians, panel builders and facility maintenance teams working on commercial or industrial supply. Before ordering, confirm your bank's rating matches the 16KVAR figure, check your coil voltage and control circuit, and look at the step arrangement in your panel. Compare with standard contactors, which are cheaper but not designed for capacitive loads, and with detuned or thyristor-switched options where harmonics or frequent switching are concerns.
