Hitachi IC486D55 Capacitor - Type CLMD 63 - 55 kVAR, 480 V, Nema 12

The Hitachi IC486D55 (SKU: IC486D55) is a CLMD 63 series capacitor designed for industrial power factor correction. This unit provides 55 kVAR of reactive power at a nominal voltage of 480V. It is housed in a NEMA 12 enclosure, offering protection against dust and falling dirt, making it suitable for general-purpose industrial environments. The capacitor is manufactured by Hitachi in Japan. Its primary function is to improve the power factor of electrical systems, which can lead to reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills. By supplying reactive power, it helps to minimize voltage drops and increase the capacity of existing electrical infrastructure. This specific model is part of a broader range of industrial power factor correction solutions offered by Hitachi, known for their reliability and performance in demanding applications. The NEMA 12 rating ensures it can operate effectively in environments where dust and moisture ingress are concerns, common in manufacturing facilities, workshops, and other industrial settings. The CLMD 63 series is engineered for robust operation within industrial power grids.
