Core Features

1. Excellent capacitance stability and electrical performance

Using high-purity metalized thin films as dielectric materials, combined with vacuum evaporation coating technology, to ensure electrode conductivity uniformity and dielectric insulation performance. The capacitance deviation is controlled within ± 5% (under standard operating conditions), and the capacitance attenuation rate is low during long-term operation and temperature changes, with an annual capacitance loss of less than 1%. At the same time, it has an extremely low dielectric loss tangent value (tan δ ≤ 0.0015, 50Hz/60Hz), reducing its own energy loss and improving compensation efficiency.

2. Strong weather resistance and environmental adaptability

The shell is made of high-strength metal shell (such as cold-rolled steel plate spray coating) or flame-retardant engineering plastic packaging, which has good dustproof, waterproof, and corrosion-resistant properties, and the protection level can reach IP54 or above (specific details are subject to the product manual). Supports a wide temperature working environment and can operate stably within the temperature range of -25 ℃~60 ℃. It can adapt to the high temperature, humidity, dust, and corrosive gas erosion in industrial workshops, and maintain reliable performance even under harsh working conditions.

3. Safe and reliable explosion-proof and overvoltage protection design

Built in pressure relief device and over temperature protection component. When the internal pressure or temperature of the capacitor rises due to abnormal working conditions (such as overvoltage, overcurrent, partial discharge), the pressure relief device can quickly release pressure within a safe range to avoid shell rupture; The over temperature protection component can promptly cut off the circuit to prevent the fault from expanding. Simultaneously complying with international explosion-proof standards, it can be safely used in scenarios with specific explosion-proof level requirements (requiring specialized explosion-proof accessories).

4. Long service life and low maintenance requirements

Through optimized internal structure design and high-quality material selection, the product design has a service life of over 15 years (under rated conditions). Metallized thin films have self-healing properties. When small defects appear in the medium, self-healing can be achieved through local metal layer evaporation, avoiding defect expansion and capacitor failure. The extremely low failure rate significantly reduces equipment maintenance costs and downtime, making it suitable for unmanned automated power distribution scenarios.

5. Good compatibility and system adaptability

Following international power capacitor standards, it can seamlessly integrate with ABB's power factor controllers, reactors, lightning arresters, and other components of the same series to form a complete power compensation system. Simultaneously compatible with third-party distribution equipment and compensation devices that meet standards on the market, supporting multiple wiring methods such as star and triangle, and can be flexibly configured according to the topology of the power grid to adapt to distribution networks of different voltage levels.

Key points for installation and maintenance

1. Installation precautions

Before installation, it is necessary to verify whether the capacitor model matches the voltage and reactive power compensation requirements of the distribution system; The installation location should be chosen in a well ventilated area away from heat sources and flammable and explosive materials, avoiding direct sunlight. The metal shell capacitors should be reliably grounded; When wiring, it is necessary to select wires with appropriate cross-sections according to the rated voltage to ensure a secure connection and avoid overheating caused by poor contact; When multiple capacitors are installed in parallel, sufficient spacing (recommended not less than 10cm) should be reserved to prevent mutual influence on heat dissipation.

Before installing high-voltage capacitors, insulation resistance testing should be conducted using a 2500V megohmmeter. The insulation resistance value should not be less than 1000M Ω. During installation, the capacitor should be protected from severe impact or vibration to prevent damage to the internal medium.

2. Daily maintenance

Regularly inspect the appearance of capacitors and check for any deformation, bulging, oil leakage, corrosion, or other issues with the casing. If any abnormalities are found, immediately shut down and replace the capacitor; Measure the terminal voltage, operating current, and shell temperature of capacitors every month to ensure that all parameters are within the rated range; Check quarterly whether the wiring terminals are loose, whether there are signs of heating and discoloration, and whether the grounding device is reliable; Conduct capacitance measurement and dielectric loss testing once a year to evaluate the performance status of capacitors.

During maintenance, it is necessary to strictly follow the power-off operation procedures. First, cut off the power supply of the capacitor bank, and wait for the discharge resistor to complete the discharge (usually taking 5-10 minutes) before proceeding with the operation. It is strictly prohibited to touch the capacitor terminals while they are live; When cleaning the surface of capacitors, use a dry soft cloth and avoid using damp cloths or corrosive cleaning agents.
