In 1928, when “Frankfurter Kondensatoren” was founded, FRAKO soon made a name for itself in
the field of capacitors. FRAKO Kondensatoren was already focusing on what the market demanded
right at the start.
It all began with block mica capacitors which were soon superseded by wound paper capacitors.
Such was the demand that a more rational manufacturing process was required. Along with this,
came a greater demand for increased life expectancy, reduced power loss and the need for
greater operational safety. However, this went hand in hand with higher costs for materials in the
development laboratory. New forms of insulation, coatings and metal films were continually under
test with the windings vacuum dried to maximize their efficiency for a wide range of applications.
FRAKO not only produced wound paper capacitors but also motor capacitors and radio interference
suppression capacitors and the legendary FRAKO electrolytic capacitors for use in a countless
number of electronic devices to make the FRAKO name known throughout the world.
Once it was clear the production of consumer electronics would be concentrated in Asia, FRAKO
focused exclusively on power capacitors and especially those for power factor correction. This
specialization made it possible for us to gather a highly specialized body of experience in manufacturing
and application know-how at an early stage.
Today FRAKO is synonymous with high-quality power factor correction 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 strong leading edge over all others in power
capacitors. With a combination of self-healing, segmented capacitor film and integrated mechanical
overpressure disconnectors, FRAKO is again successful in greatly increasing the operational
safety of capacitors.
The capacitors are marketed in three series throughout the world. They form the basis for FRAKO
power factor correction equipment, the largest group, in saving energy and improving power
voltage quality. Much is spoken of energy efficiency; FRAKO equipment can now put this into
practice quickly 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 software clearly and easily show
the energy use within a company for allocating costs and identifying energy savings.
Be confident in the future and in our experience and application know-how of voltage quality,
energy optimization and documentation.
