Aerovox Corp Oil-Filled AC Film Capacitors for High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting Applications Aerovox makes a complete line of oil impregnated, AC capacitors for use in HID and other High Voltage Ballast applications. Constructed with specially formulated metallized polypropylene film, these capacitors are designed to operate in the high temperature environments found in typical HID lighting fixtures. Manufactured in both the USA and China, Aerovox offers a complete line of HID capacitors available in industry standard round and oval sizes for operating voltages to 660 VAC. Operating temperature ratings of 90C and 100C are produced for 60,000 hour operation. Dual ratings are available. Oil Filled Round & Oval Metal Case Key Features * Manufactured to EIA-456-A * RoHS Compliant * Capacitors manufactured in USA and China * Capacitance from 5 F to 56 F * Steel or aluminum can construction * Voltage ranges from 240 VAC to 660 VAC * UL-810 fault current protection * Operating temperature to 100C Construction Aerovox oil filled AC Lighting capacitors are constructed using controlled manufacturing processes and high quality materials. The capacitor section is made with metallized polypropylene film, wound on a core1 with precision winding machines to a capacitance tolerance of 3%. The capacitor section is endsprayed with zinc, providing a connection to the film and a solid surface to connect the electrodes. which results in an open circuit failure mode should the capacitor go into thermal overload. The can and cover are connected by a double roll seam, providing the seal necessary for proper operation. Aerovox uses our patented, environmentally friendly Epoxidized Soybean Oil (ESO) as the dielectric fluid for optimum heat transfer and corona suppression. Under proprietary vacuum impregnation and heating cycles, the ESO fills the final capacitor assembly. The oil fill hole is then solder The capacitor section is then connected to a pressure sealed and a discrete resistor is welded to the terminals. sensitive interrupter plate on a cover assembly consist- 100% of our capacitors undergo a rigorous 8 point final ing of the cover, terminals and the interruptor plate. inspection to assure compliance with specifications.

Test programs are run continuously at Aerovox to monitor production and for design improvements. Ongoing tests include: Accelerated Life Testing (ALT, for 2000 hours at 125% voltage rating and temperature rating +0C), fault current, and mechanical testing. Aerovox testing programs accumulate over 00 million component hours each year.

A standard guide to the effect of temperature on capacitor life is that for every 6.C rise in temperature, there will be a 0% reduction in operating life. Due to the high operating temperature associated with HID lighting, Aerovox manufactures capacitors rated for 90C and 00C. 1000 1 70C Case Temperature Typical Life vs. Operating Voltage 10 100% Life = 60,000 hrs. 150 % Rated Voltage saFety Features Aerovox protected capacitors are designed to operate in environments where there is a requirement for an internal protective device. Protective devices cause open circuits at the end of capacitor life, versus short circuits that can be caused by capacitors without protective devices. The pressure sensitive interrupter provides this protection, and has been approved by internationally recognized testing agencies like UL and CSA. Testing includes fault-current requirements on interrupter mechanisms per UL specification 810. Installation guidelines for use of these capacitors requires that there be 0. inches of free space above the capacitor terminals to allow the cover of the capacitor to bow upward in case of failure, allowing the interrupter mechanism to function properly.
