Siemens entered the Power Capacitor market with a product for the most diversified applications. Long-term reliable technology and intensive R&D investments lead to a state-of-the-art product, compliant with the most stringent technical and environmental requirements,

including extremely low temperatures (like -50 C in northern Canada), extremely high temperatures (like +50 C in India), high humidity (like in the rainforests of northern Brazil) and the most extreme seismic zones (like in New Zealand).
