Following the sad news regarding ICAR’s liquidation we are certain there will be some purchasers struggling to fulfil their requirements. Whether you are struggling to purchase replacement capacitors to repair existing equipment or have specified an ICAR capacitor for a new piece of equipment, we can help. ICAR is a manufacturer of capacitors and other electrical components. […]
What is polychlorinated biphenyl? It is an oil that was extensively once used in transformers, capacitors and other electrical products as an insulating oil or dielectric fluid. It had very good thermal characteristics and excellent electrical insulating properties. However, they are highly toxic, they do not degrade naturally, and when burned produce even nastier byproducts.
What is Reverse Engineering? Reverse engineering is the process in which a manufactured part is worked backwards in order to be reproduced, and in some cases – improved. It involves taking an existing part, in typical cases the part would be worn or near the end of its life, taking it apart, examining the individual

Read the full, unedited guide here: API Capacitors Guide to Sourcing Discontinued, Obsolete and Retrofit, Replacement and Spare Capacitors. Over the past decade or two the capacitor industry has seen some
Power Electronics in the UK is driving significant change across a range of industry sectors including the renewable energy generation, energy networks, transportation and industrial processes arenas. The inaugural Power Electronics Expo runs Thursday, 15th March and will be bringing together professionals with a specific interest in the latest technological developments from within the industry.
Product delivery lead times have been slashed after a recently completed programme of significant investment by API Capacitors at our UK Manufacturing facility which effectively doubles production capacity. This allows significantly improved product delivery lead times over competitors of around 6 to 8 weeks at competitive prices. “Lead times… 6 to 8 weeks at competitive prices.”
API Capacitors is the UK’s leading manufacturer of power capacitors. The company is investing heavily in new products and additional manufacturing capacity. There is a requirement for a design engineer preferably an individual with some experience in the design and application of film capacitors. However, a degree qualified electrical engineer would be considered and training
Capacitors using Polymer Film technology provide the following advantages when the following system issues become important: High Reliability High Pulse Currents Non-standard Values and/or Tight Tolerance Low Dielectric Absorption Extremely small capacitance change with applied voltage Capacitance Stability over Frequency Small variation in capacitance with temperature change Film/Foil capacitors consist of two aluminum foils acting
2017’s installment of the biennial Pulsed Power Conference will take place between 18th-22nd of June. This year sees the 21st conference and, for the first time ever, it is in the United Kingdom. The conference is to be hosted at the Hilton Metropole Hotel, right on the seafront of the historic town of Brighton. The
API Capacitors Ltd would like to introduce its newest piece of key equipment. The new winding machine, the Automatic Winder MXL S – Mode. The machine was designed and manufactured in Switzerland to our specific requirements. The investment in this new equipment is a demonstration of our commitment to embrace technological advances in our industry.
