The Epcos PhaseCap Energy Capacitor with a 10 kVAR rating has the following key specifications and features:
-
Rated Voltage: Commonly available in 230 V AC and 440 V AC versions.
-
Reactive Power Output: 10 kVAR at 50 Hz, with higher kVAR at 60 Hz (around 12 kVAR).
-
Capacitance: Approximately 200 μF at 230 V AC.
-
Technology: Utilizes MKK polypropylene film with wave cut technology for lower losses and increased inrush current tolerance (up to 500 times rated current).
-
Construction: Cylindrical aluminum housing with stud mounting for easy installation and air cooling.
-
Life Expectancy: Up to 200,000 hours depending on capacitor version and temperature rating.
-
Safety: Features self-healing properties, a three-phase overpressure disconnector, and a discharge resistor.
-
Dimensions: About 100 mm diameter × 224 mm height for the 230 V version; weight approximately 1.7 to 2.1 kg depending on resin or gas impregnation.
-
Versions: Available in gas-filled and biodegradable resin-filled types.
-
Applications: Suitable for industrial power factor correction in three-phase systems with demanding environments and fluctuating loads.
