[TECHNICAL DATA]   The compact PhaseCap capacitor is a self-healing, metalized polypropylene film capacitor. The current carrying metal layer (electrode) is vapor-deposited onto one side of the film.

[ COMPACT DESIGN - LOW HEIGHT WEIGHT AND VOLUME ] Compact design - low height, weight and volume : Three electrically separated, partial capacitors are wound concentrically in a single operation onto an insulated metal core tube, which guarantees excellent winding precision. The electrodes are connected by metal spraying the face end of the winding element. The partial capacitors are star; delta or series connected.The compact MKK winding elements are housed in a cylindrical aluminum case and hermetically sealed by a press-rolled metal lid.

PHASECAP ® AC CAPACITORS - [ TRIPLE SAFETY SYSTEM ]       Dry technology : instead of a liquid impregnating agent the capacitor is filled with gas. So there is no risk of fire caused by spurting or leaking oil. Dry design is a must for ecologically sensitive applications and insurance follow-up. Self-healing: the capacitor repairs itself after overload. Overpressure disconnector : this prevents the capacitor from bursting at the end of its useful life or through electrical or thermal overload.

[INNOVATIVE AND RELIABLE SIGUT ® CONNECTION TECHNOLOGY ]   SIGUT terminals ensure reliable and straight forward connection, even in a parallel capacitor circuit with benefits like Simplified parallel connection of input ends in series. Protection against electric shock hazard (IP20/IP54/ to VDE 0106 part 100), additional connection of discharge resistors for extra reliability and safety, clamping device to prevent loosening of screws, cable cross-sections up to 16mm².

[EXTENDED USEFUL LIFE OF 115,000 OPERATING HOURS]   After a long drying phase in a high vacuum to eliminate moisture from the active element, the capacitor is impregnated. The case is filled with inert gas and sealed. Then routine test are performed for gas leakage. This production process helps to avoid oxidation and partial discharges (corona effect), promoting capacitance stability over an extremely long period, an essential in filter circuit applications.

[EXTENDED USEFUL LIFE OF 115,000 OPERATING HOURS]   Capacitors used for power factor correction undergo a lot of switching operations. The high inrush currents that go along with this must be handled without degrading useful life. The pulse strength of this technology comes in particular from the enlarged, sensitive contact area (improved metal spraying). The breakthrough came with a Siemens patent called the wavy cut, plus heavy edge film design. PhaseCap capacitors can easily handle inrush currents of up to 200 times rated current.

[AND WHERE IT IS CRUCIAL]   Parallel connection of capacitors. Non-detuned capacitors. Capacitor banks using standard contactors. Restoration after voltage interruptions and brownouts.
