SIKAP

A metal enclosed capacitor bank for 4.5 - 24 kV

SIKAP 18 including unbalance CT

SIKAP SIKAP is the trade name of ABB enclosed capacitor banks for voltages 4.5 - 24 kV, for fixed compensation. The enclosure covers the live parts and protects the bank from short circuit due to external causes. It also increases personal safety.

InstallationThe SIKAP has a wide range of installations, covering climate conditions between -40 to +40 C. The system consists of internal fused ABB HIQ Capacitors with proven long service life and low losses. An unbalance current transformer is supplied as a standard when YY-connected. An optional feature is damping reactors for reducing inrush currents. All supplied items are enclosed by an aluminum cover, which fulfils IP 44.

StandardsUnits are type tested according to: IEC/ANSI Other standards on request.

DeliveryThe bank is delivered with the units mounted and balanced in a rack. All internal electrical wiring between capacitors, CT and reactors (if included) is pre-connected.

Further informationThe SIKAP concept is available for ratings up to maximum 18 Mvar / 24 kV / 50 Hz. Depending on the configuration the following banks are available: SIKAP 3*), SIKAP 6, SIKAP 9, SIKAP 12 or SIKAP 18. *) The figure 3, 6 etc refers to the number of capacitor units in the bank
