The PhaseCap Compact from Epcos is a new series of PFC (power factor correction) capacitors distinguished by its long operating life and large pulse strength.
The inrush current can reach up to 300 times and the over-current up to twice the rated value. The capacitors are based on the proven MKK technology featuring concentric three-phase capacitor windings. They reach an operating life of up to 130 000 hours to temperature class -40/D and up to 180 000 hours to temperature class -40/C.
Thanks to its compact design, the B25673A* series is ideally suited for incorporation in switching cabinets. The range covers types from 230 to 525 V a.c. at 50/60 Hz with reactive powers of between 5,0 and 30 kVAR. The capacitors are factory-equipped with shock hazard protected terminals with high pulse strength for various cable diameters.
The new series is self-healing thanks to the MKK technology and a polypropylene dielectric. In addition, the capacitors have an overpressure disconnector that separates them from the power grid in the event of a fault.
