CAPACITORS IN CYLINDRICAL ALUMINUM CASING
APPLICATION
ESTAprop PhMKP-type capacitors in cylindrical aluminum
casing have been designed for Power Factor Correction in
low voltage plants. Loads as motors and transformers
consume real power as well as reactive power. Generators,
supply cables, and other electrical distribution equipment
should be relieved from reactive power.
ESTAprop capacitors may be used for:
automatic PFC-equipment
individual fixed PFC (e.g. motors, transformers, lighting)
group fixed PFC
tuned and detuned capacitor banks
harmonic trap (e.g. UPS, frequency drives, converter)
DESIGN
The ESTAprop MKP capacitor is a metallized polypropylene
film capacitor with self-healing properties. The current
carrying metal layer of an MKP capacitor is vaporised onto
one side of the polypropylene film. The front surface of
tubular winding elements are joined by means of the metal
spray method (schooping). Three winding elements are
encapsulated in one aluminum casing and connected to form
a true 3-phase capacitor. The overpressure tear-off fuse
prevents the capacitor from bursting at the end of service life,
or due to inadmissible electrical or thermal overloads.
The assembly is impregnated with a natural oil (fire point
> 300 °C) under vacuum and hermetically sealed. This
construction method ensures excellent heat dissipation and
constant capacitance over an extended period of time.
The capacitor is housed in a tubular aluminum container with
a metal lid press-rolled onto it. The current is supplied via
screw-on (M5) or push-on (6.3 x 0.8 mm) connectors. A
threaded stud (M12) at the bottom of the container serves for
both grounding and mounting.
ESTAprop and ESTAdry capacitors will be delivered
together with discharge resistors and hardware for mounting
and connection.
Vishay ESTA standard capacitors of 84.4 mm diameter will
come with a THICK FILM DISCHARGE RESISTOR UNIT,
forked terminals for easy mounting and IN-LINEconnection
of the capacitors to the supply.
Capacitors are in accordance with protection class IP00. For
all types, plastic covers for a higher degree of protection are
available.
