Prismatic Capacitors

Innovation within your reach The application of new technologies and the use of printed circuit boards to manufacture prismatic capacitors have allowed CIRCUTOR to reinvent the classic CS capacitor, manufactured for over 35 years. The spirit of innovation and proprietary technology used during the design of the new CSB capacitor have increased the lifespan of traditional prismatic capacitors by over 60%. This new series has improved all aspects of the previous models, offering our customers a longer-lasting, safer and more profitable capacitor. CIRCUTOR Guarantees Durability guarantee: yyTop...

Innovative processes Manufactured in a fully automated assembly line, with processes that have been designed to eliminate the most critical aspects that affect the capacitor lifespan, such as the contact with damp environments and extreme temperatures. Polymerisation of the resin, offering the perfect compactness of the element The assembly processes and intermediate tests carried out with the new series of CSB capacitors guarantee a 60% longer lifespan. Symmetrical centring with a hermetic over-pressure membrane that isolates the internal element from humidity and allows a homogeneous thermal...

4 levels of protection Self-regeneration Minimum capacity losses (exclusive use of European polypropylene) Individual internal fuse Disconnection, exclusively of the damaged elements Over-pressure system Evacuation of gases Inert and fireproof material Anti-deflagration system Encapsulated with high-pressure injected resin, eliminating air particles and the risk of oxidation. Electrical verification Verification and individual recording of the test values, in compliance with the international regulations (IEC 60831).

Use of collector plates The new assembly method of capacitive elements is based on a collector plate that is similar to the kind of technology used in power electronics, which offers a number of significant advantages over the usual cable-based connection method, such as: • Uniform arrangement of capacitive elements inside the metal casing, guaranteeing a totally homogeneous thermal dissipation, thus increasing the lifespan of the capacitor. • Full elimination of interconnection cabling, thus reducing total losses (higher efficiency) and reducing the assembly time, while minimising the potential...
