Can the capacitor banks be expanded after initial installation?

Yes, our capacitor banks are designed with future scalability in mind. The standard six-position rack can accommodate additional capacitors even if initially only three are installed. This feature allows for easy expansion of the capacitor bank by simply adding more capacitors to the unused positions on the rack.

Are there different rack configurations available for these capacitor banks?

Indeed, we offer several rack configurations to suit different project needs. Besides the standard six-position rack, we also provide three-position and nine-position racks. This variety ensures that we can cater to both smaller and larger scale requirements.

How are the capacitor banks delivered and what is required for installation?

Hubbell capacitor banks arrive fully assembled, factory wired and tested—making them truly site ready. Utility crews simply install the equipment without needing to perform additional wiring, assembly, or field testing.

Can I customize the capacitor banks to meet specific project requirements?

Yes, we offer custom designs to meet specific project or customer needs. Whether it's a unique configuration, special performance requirements, or even supplying racks without capacitors for those who prefer to use their own, we can tailor our solutions to your specifications. We encourage you to consult with our team to discuss your specific requirements and how we can best meet them.
