The capacitor bank is the assembled rack of medium-frequency capacitors, busbar and water manifold next to the furnace. A large single-unit kvar rating keeps the pit small and the high-current loop short.

Every figure in these tables is taken from the factory sheets in the product folder and is written in English. 1 metric ton = 1.102 US short tons. Power-supply ratings can still be negotiated to the customer requirement, as the sheet itself states. American standards are the US specifications normally requested with this equipment.
Key features
- Placed as close to the furnace as the layout allows
- Large-section water-cooled copper bus
- Catalog bus temperature target not above 45°C to cut tank-circuit loss
- Water-cooled capacitors, low loss dielectric
- Designed with the power supply, not as a loose accessory
Construction
- Frame, capacitors, cooled bus, water manifold, fuses or protection links, and the run to the coil.
Working principle
The bank is part of the resonant circuit. A short bus between bank and coil is as important as the capacitor rating itself.
Applications
Steel, cast iron, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass and other non-ferrous metals.
Complete system integration
This equipment sits in the same line as the power supply, the capacitor bank, the induction coil, the magnetic yoke, the furnace body and the cooling system. A quotation can cover one item or the full line.
Customization
Capacity, voltage, frequency, dimensions and connection layout can be made to the furnace design. Send the drawing or the duty data below.
Catalog sheets
Questions before a quotation
Can the rating be customized?
Yes. Capacity, voltage, frequency, tube size and connection layout follow the furnace drawing and the metal.
What do you need for a quotation?
Furnace capacity, metal, melting temperature, melting rate, working hours, input voltage, frequency if known, tilting method and cooling-water conditions. A drawing helps.
Do you supply a single machine or the complete system?
Both. A spare coil, yoke, capacitor or cooling tower can be quoted alone. A new foundry line is quoted as a complete system.
Which metals can be melted?
Steel, cast iron, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass and other non-ferrous metals. The lining and the frequency follow the alloy.
Will you confirm the catalog numbers before manufacture?
Yes. The sheets on this page are the factory catalog for selection. The quotation states the rating that will be built.
