API Capacitors design and manufacture AC capacitors that are not limited to a catalogue range. Current, voltage, size, mass and terminations are matched to the customer’s requirement and application, a few of which are listed below.

Long life and high reliability is achieved using ultra low defect density, high isotactic, metallised polypropylene dielectric film incorporating an extended working temperature range and controlled self-healing capability. Elements are wound on the latest precision edge controlled automatic winding machines. High conductivity copper is used for low resistance internal connections.

Capacitors are finished in powder coated corrosion free metal or insulated cases and filled with an environmentally safe oil or dry leak free resin.

Custom Design Capacitors

Designed to meet detailed or brief specifications. Our technical sales representatives can work closely with your design team at concept stage or at the later stages of a project when a time critical design is needed. Alternatively like for-like replacements for older retro-fit designs can be offered.
