PhiCapAC Capacitors
for Power Factor Correction
General
The PhiCap series, is a well
approved and reliable EPCOS MKP
(Metalized Polypropylene) capaci-
tor series for AC current applica-
tions with long time of field expe-
riences, more than 25 years.
The power range varies from
0.5…25 kvar and 0.7...5.0 kvar
per single capacitor can, depend-
ing on a three-phase or single-
phase capacitor design. The PhiCap
capacitor is especially intended for
power factor correction in industrial
and semi-industrial applications.
The capacitors are manufactured
using metalized polypropylene
film as dielectric and housed in a
cylindrical aluminum case.

The PhiCap is a self-healing (SH),
metalized polypropylene film capac-
itor. The current-carrying AlZn metal
layer (the best alloy for an electrode)
is vapor-deposited onto one side
of the film, the surface of dielectric.
Compact design – low weight
and small volume
The entire three-phase capacitor is
composed of three single-phase
element stacks. The electrodes are
connected by metal spraying layer
(shooping process ) on the face
ends of the winding elements.
The winding elements are encap-
sulated in a cylindrical aluminum
case and hermetically sealed either
by a press-rolled metal lid or plastic
disc with fast-on terminals.
Dual safety systems
aSelf healing: the capacitor repairs
itself, in case of overload. SH
capability prevents permanent
dielectric breakdown in case of
sporadic voltage surges, overcur-
rent or overtemperature.
aOverpressure disconnector: this
prevents the capacitor from
bursting at the end of its service
life, or caused through electrical
or thermal overload. In case of
permanent self-healing attempts
caused by repetitive ver y high
peak voltages or other overloads
will result in permanent break-
down. In such a case the safety
switching device will be activat-
ed and disconnect (cut off) the
capacitor winding elements from
the power source by means of
internal pressure raising (expan-
sion of the capacitor Al-case).
Design hint:
Due to the increase of the capac-
itor’s height, in a breakdown
case, it is necessary to provide
enough clearance obove the
capacitor‘s terminals.
Connection Technology
aSimplifying the capacitor‘s paral-
lel connection (double fast-on
terminal or double wire clamping
screw terminals)
aDischarge resistors already
mounted; standard for extra
reliability and safety (included in
delivery)
aCable connection layout (termi-
nals) adjusted to secure safe
clamping of required cable cross-
section.

PhiCap Capacitor Selection
To specify and select the capacitors
for PFC several factors affect the
performance and the expected life
time of the capacitors:
aVoltage
aHarmonics
aTemperature (UCT)
aLoad (overcurrent)
aInrush current
Permanent overvoltage shortens the
capacitor’s life cycle. The capacitor’s
rated voltage must be equal or
higher than the operating voltage
of the circuit, the capacitor will be
connected too.
Harmonics produce over voltage
and overcurrent on capacitors
themselves. If the total harmonics
distortion level for voltage e.g.
exceeds 5%, serious damages to
installation may occur by the
resonance of the circuit. In such
cases an implementation of series
reactors (de-tuning) is recommended.
Operation of the capacitors above
the upper category temperature
(UCT) level will accelerate the degra-
dation of dielectric and shorten
the capacitor’s life cycle.
Residual voltage should not exceed
10% of rated voltage while re-
switching of capacitors. During
charging period of the capacitors
the current is ver y high if switched
in automatic capacitor banks, it is
very likely that discharged capaci-
tors are connected to charged
ones already connected to the
grid. In such cases the maximum
permissible transient peak current
is 100*IN.
During the switching process ther-
mal- and electrodynamic- stresses
are developed caused by transient
over-currents of high amplitude
and frequency and may damage
the system. Capacitor contactors
with preloading resistors or series-
inductance (cable twins between
contactor and capacitor) will avoid
excessive transient currents.

Technical Data
High inrush current withstand
capability, a big benefit
Capacitors for power factor correc-
tion applications undergo a lot
of switching. Switched capacitors
have to cover high inrush currents
without reducing their own
service life. The pulse strength of
this technology comes from the
enlarged contact area (heavy edge
metalization) and spray-metal con-
tact (winding element face side).
This is most important in case of:
aParallel switching of capacitors
aNon-detuned capacitors
aCapacitor banks using “standard
contactors”
Service life up to
80,000 operating hours
After an appropriate dr ying period
in a high vacuum chamber during
the production process, to elimi-
nate the moisture on the active ele-
ment, the capacitor is filled with
biodegradable soft resin.
This production process helps to
avoid oxidation and partial dis-
charges and results in capacitance
stability over a long life time.
