Quality Electrical Protection
As an authorised FRAKO agent in Australia, we offer something no other local supplier can - genuine FRAKO power capacitors backed by local engineering expertise, a complete range of product configurations, and technical support.
Power capacitors are critical components within PFC systems. By providing a local, static source of reactive power, capacitors reduce the reactive current drawn from your supply network — improving power factor, stabilising voltage, reducing energy costs, and increasing the usable capacity of your existing electrical infrastructure. Many Australian electricity retailers impose reactive power charges that add significantly to operating costs; improving your power factor is one of the most effective power quality investments available.
Our capability extends beyond component supply. We design, install, and maintain complete power factor correction systems — from fixed single-stage configurations through to automatic, multi-stage capacitor banks that adjust in real time to variable load profiles.

Frako Power Capacitor
FRAKO power capacitors are passive electronic components that provide a static source of reactive power in electrical distribution systems. Every FRAKO model features patented self-healing technology that automatically restores dielectric strength after minor electrical breakdowns, and a fourfold safety system designed to prevent catastrophic failure. Made in Germany to exacting quality standards, FRAKO capacitors are a trusted choice across mining, industrial manufacturing, commercial buildings, and power utilities. Our range covers two primary configurations:
Single-phase capacitors
Available across a range of single-phase rated voltage, microfarad rating, and rated amps configurations. These units suit individual motor correction and targeted power factor improvement, where a three-phase supply is not required. Rated voltage and phase-rated amps vary by FRAKO model to match your specific system requirements.
Three-phase capacitors
Higher kVAR ratings across multiple rated voltage and phase rated amps configurations, designed for centralised power factor correction in substations, switchboards, and distribution panels serving heavy industrial and mining loads.
