Harmonic Distortion
Harmonic distortion is the resulting non-sinusoidal current waveform generated by a non-linear load. The most
common non-linear load is a pulse rectifier, which is used in most switch mode power supplies, variable speed
drives and uninterruptible power supplies. The distorted current waveform generates a distorted source voltage
due to the system (electrical power system) impedance. A distorted waveform can be analyzed by decomposing it
into a fundamental component (line frequency) and higher frequency components of varying amplitude.
The effects of harmonic distortion on metallized film capacitors are (1) higher operating temperature because
of higher I2R losses, and (2) higher voltage stress on the dielectric. Both of these factors will shorten the life of a
capacitor dramatically.
All Aerovox Power Factor Correction capacitors are designed to handle harmonic currents, however, Aerovox also
offers capacitors that are custom designed for systems with high harmonic distortion. By using our high-harmonic
capacitors in your harmonic rich application, you will have a more robust construction compared to using
standard capacitors in the same application.

Construction
All AeroPower capacitors are impregnated with a
dielectric fluid to give added insulation, excellent
corona protection and a moisture barrier. The
dielectric fluid is considered a green (benign),
environmentally friendly material. MMP0 and EPFC
capacitors are 100% leak tested. Aerovox products
do not contain PCBs.

Cover Terminals
Most AMP0 and low voltage MMP0 cells are available either in three or five terminal configurations, specified by
KVAR rating (see individual specifications). The medium voltage and EPFC cells are not available with 5 terminals.
The internal schematics for these terminal configurations are shown in Figures 1A and 1B. The standard five
terminal designs can be connected with external components, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, to obtain a loss-
of-KVAR feature. In this configuration, a neon indicator lamp will illuminate during a loss-of-fuse or a loss-of-
capacitance condition.

Safety Features
Discharge resistors are placed internally on MMP0 and EPFC and externally on AMP0 capacitor cells. The resistors
are a safety feature that drains the voltage on the capacitor once the unit is taken offline to less than 50 volts in
one minute or less for cells rated up to 600 VAC or in 5 minutes or less for cells rated over 600 VAC. The resistors
are sized for long life continuous operation at maximum-rated temperature.
Aerovox low-voltage capacitor cells have UL and cUL recognized pressure-sensitive circuit interrupters. The circuit
interrupter’s purpose is to safely remove the capacitor from service at end-of-life or under heavy fault conditions
and still maintain case integrity. Aerovox low-voltage capacitor cells are listed for use with or without fuses at
10,000 amps available fault current (AFC rating).
Self-healing technology: in case of an overload, the self-healing properties of the low-loss metallized
polypropylene will prevent permanent dielectric breakdown.
Mounting Orientation
All Aerovox power factor correction capacitor cells can be mounted in a vertical position with the terminals
facing up or horizontally. The units should not be mounted upside down. For proper operation of the pressure
interrupter, capacitors mounted in banks must have enough space between them for expansion. In cases where
brackets or mounting straps are used, there should only be enough pressure on the unit to hold it in place.
