Water-Cooled Compensation Capacitor for Medium Frequency Furnaces

RFM water-cooled capacitors are the compensation capacitors for medium-frequency induction furnaces. They correct power factor and form the resonant tank with the induction coil.

Air-Cooled Compensation Capacitor for Medium Frequency Furnaces

Air-cooled RFM capacitors are used where a water circuit is not wanted on the capacitor itself. They serve the same tank-circuit duty on small and medium furnaces.

Medium Frequency Furnace Capacitor Bank

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.
