frako

Frako refers to a brand of capacitor manufactured by the German company Frako Kondensatoren- und Anlagenbau GmbH. Frako capacitors are widely used in industrial applications, particularly for power factor correction and filtering in electrical systems. The company has a long history in capacitor manufacturing, dating back to its founding in 1927.

The product range of Frako includes various types of capacitors designed for different purposes. These can be broadly categorized into power capacitors, motor start capacitors, and energy storage capacitors. Power capacitors are essential for improving the efficiency of electrical grids by compensating for reactive power, thereby reducing energy losses. Motor start capacitors are used to provide the initial torque needed to start electric motors, especially single-phase induction motors. Energy storage capacitors, also known as supercapacitors or ultracapacitors, are capable of storing and releasing large amounts of electrical energy rapidly, finding use in applications like regenerative braking systems and power backup solutions.

Frako emphasizes the quality and reliability of its products, often highlighting their long service life and ability to withstand demanding environmental conditions. The company also provides technical support and solutions for power quality management. Their capacitors are utilized across diverse sectors, including manufacturing, renewable energy, and transportation.
