Product Range

High voltage shunt capacitor banks (3.3Kv to 132KV / 220KV) are manufactured by capacitor unit’s size range of 50KVAr to 1000KVAr & voltage range of 1 KV to 22KV. Capacitor units are connected in various formations of star / double star and delta, depending upon customer’s requirement / applications and applicable protection schemes. Capacitor banks are available in all the ratings to suit the customers / system requirement.

Applications: HV Capacitors are in service for various applications (like Steels / Cements / Chemicals-Fertilizers /Paper/ Railways / Defense/ Electricity boards / Utility company’s) for more than four decades in India and in other countries like Indonesia , Georgia, Bangladesh, Iraq,Nepal,Bhutan.

Design / Technology

Universal Cables Ltd (UCL) entered into manufacturing of capacitors in the year 1967 under the technical collaboration with “Toshiba” of Japan. In the year 1977 we initiated Mixed dielectric (MD) technology capacitors in India with the General Electric of USA. As a continuous development process, we come up with the revolutionary technology of All-PP Capacitors with another technological tie-up with GE-USA in the year 1985.

For the continuous up-gradation in manufacturing process, UCL has one of the most modern plant in the Country. Cleanliness in our winding section is maintained as per US federal standards. Dust particles of 0.5 micron and above are limited to 100 particles on the winding machine and 1000 particle level in the room.

• UCL is one of the few companies having its own R & D department to experiment with new raw materials and processes.
• Plant fully equipped with raw material and process testing laboratory.
• Capacitor elements winding through fully automatic /computerized machines in ultra clean and humidity controlled conditions as per international standards.
• Capacitors are type tested as per IEC / ISS (IS-13925) in CRPI Laboratory at Bangalore (NABL accredited, laboratory of Govt of India)
