Note :
1) It should be noted that presence of harmonics produces over voltage & over current on capacitors. Resonance may
cause serious damage to installation if a siginificant level of total harmonic distortion level exists for voltage or current.
In such cases, series reactors must be considered.
2) Operating temperature class: In accordance with the reference standards, these temperatures are those measured on
the surface on the capacitor
Approved marks
(1) Currently available from Icotron and EIPL.
(2) Homologation in process
EN 60252
250(2), 400(1) and 450(1) Vac.
