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It all began with block mica capacitors which were soon superseded by wound paper capacitors.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 re 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- 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 e, the largest group, in saving energy and improving power

voltage . Much is spoken of energy efficiency; FRAKO e 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 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 ,

energy optimization and documentation.
