Loading capacitor, is a capacitor bank with step variation. This is required when experimenting to determine the output characteristics of devices like a transformer etc. More particularly while experimenting to determine the power factor measurements in single-phase electrical circuits.

This is a loading capacitor, where by the capacitance in a load circuit can be varied in the range of 2uF to 16uF @ 230V AC, in 8 steps. The variation in capacitance can be obtained by suitable patch cord mechanism. This is suitably protected with necessary fuse arrangement. The terminals are suitably brought out on a 4mm Banana sockets for easy interconnections.
