Solving Industrial Energy Waste with Smart Capacitor Technology
Modern motor drives lose up to 15% efficiency through harmonic distortion and voltage instability (TDK Technical Report 2023). The EPCOS MKK440-D-28.1-01 power capacitor delivers targeted solutions through three core innovations:
- 28μF capacitance (±5%) maintains stable power delivery under load fluctuations
- 440V AC rating withstands industrial voltage spikes (IEC 60252-1 certified)
- -40°C to +110°C operation ensures reliability in harsh environments
Technical Breakthroughs in Energy Storage
TDK's metalized polypropylene film technology enables 50,000-hour lifespan at 70°C - 3× longer than standard capacitors. The 28.1μF precision matching reduces phase current imbalance by 42% in comparative tests (EPCOS Application Note 114).
