EPCOS AG

PhiCap™AC 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.

4EPCOS AG

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.

EPCOS AG

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.
