TDK EPCOS price list

The price list is organised by product family rather than by application, so it helps to know which family your requirement sits in before you open the PDF.

We publish the PDF as issued — no line re-typed, re-rated or re-priced by us.

List price is not your buying price. Like every LT component brand in India, TDK EPCOS publishes a list price per order code. Your invoice value is arrived at after the trade discount applicable to the product family and the commercial terms of the order. Discounting differs family to family — capacitors, reactors and electronics are not treated alike — and it is not printed in the PDF. Ask for it in writing; never assume the discount on one family carries to another.

GST sits on top. Prices in the list are ex-GST. Capacitors and reactors attract GST at the rate notified for their HSN classification, added on the invoice; the tax invoice we raise carries our GSTIN 29ACGFS8716B1ZZ so your input credit flows cleanly. For inter-state supply it is IGST, within Karnataka it is CGST plus SGST — the landed number is the same, the credit treatment differs.

Watch pack quantity. Several small-value items — MFD capacitors in particular — are listed at a piece rate but supplied in standard cartons. If you order a loose quantity against a carton-pack item, either the rate or the quantity has to move. Always confirm the minimum order multiple before you freeze a BOM.

Order codes carry the specification. EPCOS ordering codes (the B25… family for capacitors) encode construction, kVAr, voltage and terminal arrangement. Re-ordering from an old drawing, quote the full code, not a description — “25 kVAr capacitor” is not a buyable instruction, because the same kVAr exists in several voltage classes and duty grades at very different prices.

This is where most APFC panel problems begin.

Voltage class and kVAr de-rating. A capacitor rated 480 V or 525 V operating on a 415 V bus will not deliver its nameplate kVAr — output falls with the square of the voltage ratio. That de-rating is deliberate: the higher voltage class buys you life and harmonic headroom. So when you select from the price list, decide the delivered kVAr you need at bus voltage first, then pick the order code whose nameplate rating supplies it. Sizing off the nameplate alone is the commonest cause of an APFC panel that never reaches target power factor.

Detuned reactors and tuning factor. If the load has significant harmonic content — VFDs, UPS, rectifiers, LED lighting banks, welding — plain capacitors will amplify harmonics and fail early. A detuned reactor in series shifts the resonant frequency of the capacitor-network combination safely below the lowest significant harmonic. A 7% reactor tunes below the 5th harmonic; a 14% class tunes lower still and is chosen where 3rd harmonic content is present on a distorted neutral-bearing system. Note that the capacitor in a detuned step must be of a higher voltage class than the bus, because the reactor raises the voltage across the capacitor terminals — this is exactly why the price list pairs specific reactors with specific capacitor codes in the combo lines.

Duty grade, losses and ambient. Heavy-duty and super heavy-duty grades exist for a reason: higher permissible inrush count, higher overcurrent capability, and better life at Indian panel ambient. Compare loss figures in W/kVAr if you are building for an energy-audited site, and check the ambient class against the actual temperature inside a closed LT panel in a Bengaluru summer — not the room temperature outside it. Every cylindrical unit should be mounted with its overpressure disconnector allowed the clearance the datasheet asks for; crowding capacitors defeats the safety mechanism.

Switching matters as much as the capacitor. Use capacitor-duty contactors with damping resistor contacts, never general-purpose AC-3 contactors, and move to thyristor switching where the load changes faster than a contactor bank can follow.

Price lists for this range move for reasons that are structural, not arbitrary. Metallised polypropylene film, aluminium foil, CRGO and copper for reactor windings are commodity inputs priced globally. A large part of the film and electronics content is imported, so rupee-dollar and rupee-euro movement feeds straight into cost. Freight and insurance on heavy reactor consignments react to fuel and container rates. Standards revisions — IEC and the corresponding Indian Standards for shunt capacitors, and BIS requirements where applicable — occasionally change construction or test requirements, which changes cost. And series get phased out or superseded by a newer generation, at which point the old order codes disappear from the list entirely. That last one is the practical risk for panel builders: a code you specified in a tender last year may simply not exist in the current list.

Skylights Energy has been in the Bengaluru electrical trade since 2013, operating from Bommanahalli, and VendorStocks is our B2B and B2C components platform carrying around 3,000 SKUs. We serve panel builders, control panel shops, OEMs, contractors, colleges and manufacturing plants.

What you get by mailing us your requirement:

• A quotation against your BOM, with GST and freight shown separately.
• Order-code verification — we flag superseded codes and suggest the current equivalent before you order.
• Matched APFC sets — capacitor, detuned reactor and capacitor-duty contactor selected together, with Degson terminal blocks for the control wiring, since we are the Bangalore distributor for Degson.
• Local pickup in Bengaluru or dispatch to any state in India.
• A built panel if you would rather not build it — our panel arm Stellar Panels manufactures LT and HT panels, including APFC panels, and Switchonomy will cost the estimate for you.

Send your requirement or the price list reference to support@skylightsenergy.in with the kVAr, bus voltage, harmonic profile if known, and quantity. That is usually enough to quote without a second round of questions.

We check the TDK India source documents on a routine cycle and refresh this page whenever a revised list is issued, an order code is superseded or a series is withdrawn. The edition name and effective date are printed on the PDF itself — read that line before building a tender price on it.
