In 1928, when “Frankfurter Kondensatoren” was founded, FRAKO soonmade a name for itself in

the field of capacitors. FRAKO Kondensatoren was already focusingon what the market demanded

right at the start.

It all began with block mica capacitors which were soon supersededby wound paper capacitors.

Such was the demand that a more rational manufacturing process wasre Along with this,

came a greater demand for increased life expectancy,reduced power lossand the need for

greater operational safety. However, this went hand in hand withhigher costs for materials in the

development laboratory. New forms of insulation, coatings and metalfilms were continually under

test with the windings vacuum dried to maximize their efficiencyfor a wide range of applications.

FRAKO not only produced wound paper capacitors but also motorcapacitors and radio interference

suppression capacitors and the legendary FRAKO electrolyticcapacitors for use in a countless

number of electronic devices to make the FRAKO name knownthroughout the world.

once it was clear the production of consumer electronics would beconcentrated in Asia, FRAKO

focused exclusively on power capacitorsand especially those for power factorcorrection. This

specialization made it possible for us to gather a highlyspecialized body of experience in manufacturing

and application know-how at an early stage.

Today FRAKO is synonymous with high- power factorcorrection capacitors with an aboveaverage

life expectancy, low power loss,extreme load characteristics and exceptional operational

reliability. In all its eighty years, FRAKO still has a strongleading edge over all others in power

capacitors. With a combination of self-healing, segmented capacitorfilm and integrated mechanical

overpressure disconnectors, FRAKO is again successful in greatlyincreasing the operational

safety of capacitors.

The capacitors are marketed in three series throughout the world.They form the basis for FRAKO

power factor correction e, the largest group,in saving energy and improving power

voltage . Much is spoken of energy efficiency; FRAKOe can now put this into

practice and easily.

documenting the energy use of a company to maximize energy use,FRAKO now offers a third

generation of Energy Management Systems. These units and softwareclearly and easily show

the energy use within a company for allocating costs andidentifying energy savings.
