Power Capacitors –
Technical Data
Siemens entered the Power Capacitor market with a
product for the most diversified applications. Long-term
reliable technology and intensive R&D investments lead
to a state-of-the-art product, compliant with the most
stringent technical and environmental requirements,
including extremely low temperatures (like -50 °C in
northern Canada), extremely high temperatures (like
+50 °C in India), high humidity (like in the rainforests
of northern Brazil) and the most extreme seismic zones
(like in New Zealand).

HVDC Adani –
India
The HVDC system operated by Adani Power Ltd. has a
transmission capacity of 2500 MW and provides low-loss
energy transmission over a distance of approximately
960 km, from the port of Mundra located on the west
coast to the industrial regions in the Haryana state.
The AC filters for this HVDC system represent the first
large order for the capacitor factory in Jundiaí, which
delivered the first units to India only 6 months after
the official inauguration in December 2009. The total
installed output of the 54 single phase high voltage
AC filters was close to 4000 Mvar and the total number
of units supplied was 4840 (including spare parts).
