自1946年以来，ICAR是电容器和中压功率因数校正的领先制造商

为了获得高质量和高可靠性，ICAR在欧洲的6个工厂控制着所有生产阶段。

七十年
ICAR是中低压电容器和系统的领先制造商之一。它成立于1946年，其声誉基于70年高性能电容器研究，设计，开发和生产的经验，在这一领域我们仍然保持着无可争议的领导地位。

始终走在前列
ICAR是世界上第一家公司，于60年代初开始开发金属化聚丙烯电容器。此外，从一开始，我们还意识到开发自己的金属化系统的重要性，以便控制从聚丙烯薄膜到完整的电容器和系统的生产过程。

在意大利乃至全世界
遍布欧洲的6家工厂在垂直方向上高度整合，这使我们（在世界范围内很少见）可以直接控制聚丙烯电容器的整个生产过程：从原材料到成品。

ICAR提供了用于功率因数校正的全套电容器和系统，电动机和照明电容器，用于电力电子应用的DC和AC电容器，稳压器和有源滤波器。ICAR生产具有高梯度的金属化聚丙烯电容器，并且ICAR是世界上少数能够提供以“纸和油”这一强大技术制成的电容器的制造商之一。ICAR还巩固了在能量存储和快速放电电容器方面的专业知识。ICAR在工厂生产LV和MV功率因数校正库和系统。

研究与开发

ICAR是设计和制造用于电气用途的金属化聚丙烯膜和金属化纸质电容器的领导者。
由于所有电容器生产阶段的完全垂直整合，ICAR的研发部门拥有有关所用介电材料，金属化，电气，热和机械设计的全面产品知识。
ICAR的技术人员还可以调整最终产品必须达到的中间处理阶段，以达到客户要求的性能，质量和可靠性水平。
在测试设计，开发和生产阶段的结果时，ICAR的研发部门增加了杰出的技能。
事实上，ICAR可以完全开发专有的电容器自动测试设备，以符合当前法规和/或与客户达成协议的特定“定制”测试。
LV功率因数校正系统和LV稳压器也是由内部专业技术团队设计和开发的。

Since 1946 ICAR is a leading manufacturer of electrical capacitors and medium voltage power factor correction

In its 6 plants, located in Europe, ICAR controls all production phases in order to obtain high quality and reliability.

For seventy years
ICAR is one of the leading manufacturers of electrical capacitors and systems in low and medium voltage. Established in 1946, it bases its reputation on 70 years of experience in research, design, development and production of high-performance capacitors, an area where we still maintain an undisputed leadership.

Always at the forefront
First company in the world, ICAR started developing capacitors in metallized polypropylene at the beginning of the 60s. Furthermore, from the beginning we also realized the importance of developing our own metallization systems in order to control the production process from the polypropylene film right to the completed capacitor and systems.

In Italy and in the world
The 6 plants located throughout Europe, which are strongly integrated at a vertical level, allow us (something which is rather rare throughout the world) to directly control the entire production process of polypropylene capacitors: from raw material to finished product.

ICAR offers a full range of capacitors and systems for power factor correction, motors and lighting capacitors, DC and AC capacitors for power electronics applications, voltage stabilizers and active filters. We produce metallized polypropylene capacitors with high gradient and we are among the few manufacturers in the world able to offer capacitors made with the robust technology "paper and oil." We have also consolidated know-how in energy storage and rapid discharge capacitors. We produce in our plants Power factor Correction banks and systems in LV and MV.

know-how

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

ICAR is a leader in designing and manufacturing metallised polypropylene film and  metallised paper capacitors for electrical use.  
ICAR’s R&D department is endowed with comprehensive product knowledge concerning the dielectric material employed, the metallization, the electrical, thermal and mechanical design thanks to a full vertical integration of all capacitor production stages.
Our technicians can also tune the intermediate processing stages the end product must undergo to reach the level of performance, quality and reliability required by our customers.
ICAR’s R&D department adds outstanding skills when it comes to testing the outcome of design, development and production stages.
As a matter of fact, ICAR can fully develop exclusive capacitor automated testing equipment, compliant with current regulations and/or with specific “custom” tests agreed with the customers.
Also LV power factor correction systems and LV voltage stabilisers are designed and developed by in-house specialised technical teams.

LABORATORIES
