SQUARECAP ® AC CAPACITORS - [ EXAMPLE OF A MODULE ] |
|
|
|
|
 |
SQUARECAP ® AC CAPACITORS - [ WINDING ] |
|
|
|
| |
The metalized polypropylene film (MPP) is manufactured in house on machines of the latest |
| |
technology. It consists of two sheets of polypropylene film, each with a thin layer of silver- |
| |
zinc-aluminum alloy on one side. Heavy edge construction of the films provides better bonding |
| |
between the electrode and the metal spray area to increase current carrying capability. It also |
| |
ensures better resistance to the electromechanical stress that occurs in switching surges. |
|
|
| |
The windings themselves are centered inside the can and sealed with polyurethane resin. In |
| |
this way ionization and corona discharge are eliminated, resulting in capacitors of highly stable |
| |
characteristics and long useful life. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
SQUARECAP ® AC CAPACITORS - [ HIGH TEMPERATURE CAPABILITY ] |
|
|
|
| |
The low dissipation of MPP film combined with the superior thermal conducting properties of |
| |
polyurethane permits operation at temperatures up to 80°C hot spot temperature. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
SQUARECAP ® AC CAPACITORS - [ INDUCTOR COILS ] |
|
|
|
| |
For ratings of 6 kvar and higher, each single-phase capacitor is provided with an inductor coil |
| |
(mounted between the offset terminal and capacitor terminal) to control inrush current to the |
| |
capacitor, particularly for parallel switching and automatic control applications. This feature |
| |
ensures long term stability of the kvar output and extended life. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
SQUARECAP ® AC CAPACITORS - [ DISCHARGE RESISTOR ] |
|
|
|
| |
All modules are provided with resistors to discharge the modules according to IEC |
| |
requirements to voltages below 75V with in 3 min (IEC 83 )- J) As a safety precaution, all |
| |
capacitor terminals must be short circuited before handling them. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
PHASECAP ® AC CAPACITORS - [ TRIPLE SAFETY SYSTEM ] |
|
|
|
| |
Self-healing technology, overpressure disconnector and polyurethane impregnation technology |
| |
contribute to reliable and safe PFC capacitor products. |
