Capacitors

Selection of the rated voltage / rated power

The rated voltage of the capacitors indicated in the data charts must not be exceeded even in cases of malfunc-
tion. Bear in mind that capacitors in detuned equipment are exposed to a higher voltage than that of the rated
mains voltage; this is caused by the connection of detuning reactor and capacitor in series.

UR
That is to say UC = UR= rated mains voltage
p
(1 - ) Uc= capacitor voltage
100%
p = detuning factor

When calculating the required power of a capacitor, the reactive power of the detuning reactor must also be
considered.

Example:
A capacitor with a rated power of 10kvar 440V which is 7% detuned and operated in a 400V mains will deliver a
power of 8.9kvar only. If this capacitor is 5.67% detuned the power output will even be 8.8kvar only.
An alternative can be the special adjustment of the power of capacitor and reactor. For more details see section
"Reactors" in this catalogue.

Current rating
The maximum permitted rms current for each particular capacitor is specified in the data charts. Permanent
exceeding of these values will lead to increased self-heating of the capacitor and - as a result - reduced lifetime.
Higher rms values require adjustments in construction and are available on request.

Our capacitors have been designed for short term inrush currents of 200 × IR as standard. However, when swit-
ching capacitors in automatic capacitor banks without detuning reactors higher loads are very often the case.
This may have a negative effect on the operational life especially of capacitors which are frequently connected
and disconnected (e.g. primary stages).
We therefore strongly recommend the use of special capacitor contactors with inrush limiting resistors, or other
adequate devices for limitation of the peak inrush currents.

Care should be taken not to exceed the maximum voltage and current ratings when installing capacitors in
close-tuned or detuned equipment (see data sheets for maximum ratings).
The thermal monitoring of reactors, or the use of overcurrent protection relays in the capacitor circuit is recom-
mended to protect against overloads.

Discharge
Capacitors should be discharged to ≤10% of the rated voltage prior to being re-energised. For this purpose,
special discharge modules are offered for capacitors in design L/M, which can be selected in accordance with
the applied operating voltage and the desired discharge period. Standard IEC 831 requires a discharge to 75V or
less within 3 minutes. Note that in automatic capacitor banks shorter discharge cycles may be required.

Use rapid discharge reactors or switchable discharge resistors for very short discharge cycles. Capacitors must
be discharged and short-circuited before working on the terminals. Please note that capacitors with nominal vol-
tages of more than 750 V, when having been short-circuited only shortly, may generate new voltages caused by
inner series connections. Capacitors out of use should therefore be short-circuited permanently.

10
Discharge modules
Four separate discharge modules (3 x 82kΩ, 120kΩ, 180kΩ, 300kΩ) are available for the discharge of single
capacitors or groups of several connected capacitors. The resistors are allocated in a finger-proof housing
(IP20).

The correct size of the module to be applied can be either taken from the recommendations given in the capaci-
tor data charts or calculated with the following formula:

1. three-phase capacitors 2. single-phase capacitors

t t ·1.5
R= R= t = discharge period in s
U · 2 U· 2 CT = partial capacitance of one phase
C T· ln B Ctotal · ln B
UE UE Ctotal = total capacitance
UB = operating voltage
UE = maximum permissible voltage
after period t
R = module resistance value

In all cases the next smaller value has to be applied.

NOTE: The discharge resistors may become very hot (up to 200°C) during continuous operation.

For design L/M only: Remove the lid of the discharge module if applying protective caps to the capacitors.

Mounting instructions

Mounting position

Resin-filled MKP capacitors shall be installed upright with terminals facing upwards. Gas filled MKP capacitors
can be mounted in any position without restrictions. Please contact us if different mounting position is required.

Mounting location/cooling

To avoid overheating the capacitors must be allowed to emit their heat losses unhindered and should be shiel-
ded from external heat sources. The permitted temperature category of the capacitor (B,C or D) is stated on the
label. If attenuating circumstances give cause for doubt, special tests should be conducted to ensure that the
permitted maximum ambient temperature of the capacitor is not exceeded. It should be noted that the internal
heat balance of large capacitors is only reached after a couple of hours.
The useful life of a capacitor may be reduced dramatically if exposed to excessive heat. Do not place the capaci-
tors directly above heat sources such as detuning or tuning reactors, bus bars, etc. Give at least 20 mm clearan-
ce between and around the capacitors for natural or forced ventilation (especially in detuned capacitor banks.)

Operation of capacitors at temperatures higher than those permitted will lead to a reduction in the operational
life of the unit. Typically, an increase in the ambient temperature of 7°C will reduce the life of the capacitor by a
factor of 50%. The following chart details the maximum permitted ambient temperatures for capacitors of each
temperature category.

Temperature category Maximum ambient temperature limits

Absolute maximum Max. avge. over 24hrs max.avge. over 365 days
B 45°C 35°C 25°C
C 50°C 40°C 30°C
D 55°C 45°C 35°C

Vibration stress according to DIN IEC 68-2-6:

Please consult our technical department for details of permitted vibration stress in your application.
Note that capacitors fitted with the EL-Dr discharge reactor must not be exposed to any vibration stress at all.

All cylindrical capacitors can be fixed sufficiently using the mounting stud at the bottom of the can. It is recom-
mended to insert the washer which is delivered together with the mounting nut before fixing the nut.

Connection

Fuses and cross section of the leads shall be sized for at least 1.5 times of the rated capacitor current.
design Max. permitted cross section of the Max. permitted current rating per termination contact
feeding cables (not to be exceeded when combining several capacitors):
A 6mm² 15 A per plug
L 25mm² (with ferrule) 43 A
M 35mm² (with ferrule) 80 A
50mm² (without ferrule)

Please note that the permitted max. current (acc. to data chart) must not be exceeded.

All cylindrical capacitors are fitted with a "break action" safety mechanism (see page 13) which may cause the
casing to expand, especially at the crimp and at the lid. Such capacitors must only be connected with flexible
cables or elastic copper bands. The folded crimps must not be held by retaining clamps. A clearance of at least
35mm above the terminations shall be accommodated.

The hermetic sealing of the capacitors is extremely important for a long operating life and for the correct functio-
ning of the beak action mechanism. Please pay special attention not to damage the following critical sealing
points:
- the bordering of the lid
- the connection between screw terminal and lid (design L/M)
- the rubber seal at the bottom of the tab connectors (design A)
- the soldering at the bottom of the tab connectors (design A)

The bordering and the connection terminals must not be hit with heavy or sharp objects or tools (e.g. hammer, screw
driver). The soldering must not be exposed to excessive heat. It is not recommended to solder cables to the terminals
(design A). We advise to use appropriate tab connectors to connect the cables.
The connection terminals (design L/M) and the tab connectors (design A) must not be bent, turned or moved otherwise.

Fixing torque

Do not exceed the permitted torque of the terminal screws (design L/M) and the bottom studs. The test valus
specified by IEC must be guaranteed as a minimum value.
terminal connection test value acc. to IEC947-1 recommended value max. value
design L (M5) 2.0 Nm 2.5 ... 3.0 Nm 3.0 Nm
design M (M6) 2.5 Nm 3.2 ... 3.7 Nm 4.0 Nm

base mounting stud (MS) 4 Nm

base mounting stud (M12) 7 Nm

Earthing

Capacitors with a metal case must be earthed at the mounting stud or by means of a separate metal strap or clamp.

Disposal

All ELECTRONICON capacitors are totally free of PCB and do not contain toxic substances.
When disposing of or arranging for the disposal of the capacitors it should be noted that MPP-capacitors are fil-
led with oil. A data sheet about the impregnant can be provided by the manufacturer.
MKP-capacitors in design A are filled with viscous polyurethane resins. The gas-filled MKPg capacitors contain
only neutral, physiologically sound insulation gasses.

Safety of the Capacitors

Protection against overvoltages and short circuits: Self-healing dielectric

All dielectric structures used in our power capacitors are "self-healing": In the event of a voltage breakdown the
metal layers around the breakdown channel are evaporated by the temperature of the electric arc that forms bet-
ween the electrodes. They are removed within a few microseconds and pushed apart by the overpressure gene-
rated in the centre of the breakdown spot. An insulation area is formed which is reliably resistive and voltage
proof for all operating requirements of the capacitor. The capacitor remains fully functional during and after the
breakdown.
For voltages within the permitted testing and operating maximum the capacitors are short-circuit- and overvolta-
ge-proof.

Protection against accidental contact

All capacitors are checked by routine test (voltage test between terminations and case) in accordance with VDE
0560. Accessible capacitors must be earthed at the bottom stud or with an additional earthing clamp.

The terminal block of designs L and M is rated IP20, i.e. it is protected against accidental finger contact with life
parts. The discharge modules are designed in the same way (compare page 38). Unused contact cages of
design M terminal blocks must be covered by a proper blank (available as standard accessory, see page 38).
Capacitors in design A are not provided with protection against accidental contact as standard. They are availa-
ble with protective caps on request (see page 41).

Protection against overload and failure at

the end of useful service life
In the event of overvoltage or ageing at the end of the capa-
citor's useful service life, an increasing number of self-hea-
ling breakdowns may cause rising pressure inside the capa- rupture point
citor. To prevent it from bursting, the capacitor is fitted with
an obligatory "break action mechanism". This safety
mechanism is based on an attenuated spot at one of the
connecting wires inside the capacitor. With rising pressure
the case begins to expand, mainly by opening the folded
crimp and pushing the lid upwards. As a result, the prepa-
red connecting wire is separated at the attenuated spot,
and the current path is interrupted irreversibly.

Principle of the break action mechanism

 MKP/MKPg

Construction

The plastic film is wound into stable cylindrical windings.

winding contact layer
The ends of the capacitor windings are contacted by spray-
ing with a metal contact layer, facilitating a high current load
and ensuring a low-inductance connection between the ter-
minals and windings.
The cases are made of pressed aluminium and fitted with a
mounting stud.

The MKP-type capacitors consist of a low-loss dielectric

formed by pure polypropylene film. A thin self-healing mixtu-
re of zinc and aluminium is metallized directly on one side of
the PP-film under vacuum. This technology ensures a long
operating life of the capacitor. The capacitor elements are
dried in a vacuum. After insertion into the capacitor case, a
patented viscous polyurethane resin, mainly containing
castor oil, or dried insulation gas, is introduced. This protec- deposit-free zone polypropylene film,
ts the winding from environmental influence and provides an metal deposit on one side
extended life-expectancy and stable capacitance.

 MKPg

MKPg - the new generation of dry-type power capacitors

The use of impregnants and/or filling materials in capacitors is necessary in order to insulate the capacitor elec-
trodes from oxygen, humidity, and other environmental interference. Without such insulation, the metal coating
would corrode, an increasing number of partial discharges would occur, the capacitor would lose more and
more of its capacitance, and suffer increased dielectric losses and a reduced operating life.

For many years, ELECTRONICON has examined different options to provide such reliable conservation. Though
having gained excellent experience with PUR resin and mineral oil, we have now decided to develop a capacitor
for especially high environmental requirements, in addition to our well-proven range of heavy-duty MPP capaci-
tors.

After extensive studies, tests and practical application in the field, we are proud to present our range of gas filled
MKP power capacitors: MKPg. This new technology provides the same outstanding technical performance, the
same well-proven safety and reliability in operation as with our previous range of MKP power capacitors with
resin filling. In addition, it offers the following important advantages:

• environmentally friendly
The gas is inert and entirely harmless to environment.
When disposing of the capacitors, no liquids or toxic gasses need to be considered.

• ease of assembly with high degree of protection

The new design L/M guarantees optimum sealing of the capacitors, and offers convenient connection of
cables up to 50mm². It also permits the direct connection of discharge reactors and discharge resistor modu-
les.

• leakage-proof and safe

A leakage of gas is extremely unlikely if the capacitors are handled and operated properly. It is now possible
to mount these capacitors in any desired position.
However, should leakage occur, the leaking gas would escape into the atmosphere causing no undesirable
effects to the adjacent equipment, e.g. damage, pollution, or staining. In the long run, such an unlikely event
would result in a degradation of the capacitance; however, this process would take many months, during
which the capacitor remains functional.
Even in the event of an internal failure of the capacitor, such as a permanent overload, or a non-healing diel-
ectric break-down, the internal rise of pressure would happen with sufficient strength and speed to trigger the
overpressure break-action mechanism: in other words, even in the event of a gas leakage, the safety mecha-
nism of the capacitor will remain functional.

• reduced weight
By using gas, we are reducing the weight of a capacitor on average by 15...20%. This makes transportation
and handling of the units easier. It also supports the new concept of mounting the capacitors in any position.
