CSA approval is essential when using capacitors in Canada


Having CSA approval is essential when using capacitors in Canada which shows that a product has been independently tested and certified to meet recognized standards for safety or performance.  Frako’s commitment to provide high quality capacitors to the North American Market has driven them to obtain CSA certification in addition to UL and IEC.  

FRAKO LKT Series capacitors are now certified by Canadian Standards Association (CSA file # MC 256833).  Along with CSA approval they are also UL recognized components (cURus File # 337088) and comply with IEC (IEC 831-1, -2 / EN 60831-1,-2).  The LKT Series meets or exceeds all known industry standards and surpasses the requirements of UL, CSA and EN/IEC.                                                                                                      

Capacitor ratings include 208 – 800VAC, 1 – 30 kvar of rated reactive power.   Capacitors offer high current capability to handle continuous current as high as up to 2.7 times nominal capacitor current.  FRAKO capacitors are suitable for use in continuous ambient temperatures of -40°C up to +68° C and continuous maximum case temperature of 75°C along with maximum altitude of 4000 meters.
