Maxwell Technologies, Inc. - High Voltage Capacitors Applications

Our heritage and our innovation in the production of high voltage capacitors make them suitable for all types of applications in the transport and distribution of high voltage electrical energy. Our highly reliable, high voltage products are ideally suited to the following key applications.

Live Tank Switchgear Circuit Breakers Grading capacitors used in live tank circuit breakers allow the high voltage to be distributed uniformly in the interrupting chambers.
Dead Tank Switchgear Circuit Breakers Coupling capacitors used in dead tanks increase the breaking power of the switchgear.
Gas Insulated Switchgear Circuit Breakers GIS circuit breakers for tough environments with extreme temperature variations, dust, pollution or confined space use grading capacitors.
Capacitive Voltage Divider (CVD) Capacitive voltage dividers (CVD) are a component used on complete capacitive transformers to measure the voltage and/or the power on a high voltage overhead power line.
Laboratory Equipment Very high precision is required for laboratory, testing or calibration equipment and we are able to provide custom high voltage capacitors that meet these stringent requirements.
