CSB, State-of-the-art Prismatic Capacitors

Product catalog summary

Overview
The document discusses the state-of-the-art CSB prismatic capacitors developed by CIRCUTOR, highlighting their innovative design and enhanced features for energy efficiency, power factor correction, and harmonic filtering.

Innovation and Design
The CSB prismatic capacitors incorporate new technologies and printed circuit boards, significantly extending the lifespan of traditional capacitors by over 60%. The design improvements focus on safety, durability, and cost-effectiveness.

Guarantees and Safety Features
The capacitors offer several guarantees:

Lifespan and Durability: Made with high-quality European polypropylene and designed for greater durability.
Service Continuity: Self-regeneration technology minimizes capacity loss, and internal fuses ensure only damaged elements are disconnected.
Safety: Features include over-pressure disconnection, anti-deflagration systems, and the use of inert and fireproof materials.

Manufacturing and Innovation
The project is co-financed by the European Fund for technological development, emphasizing its innovative nature. The capacitors are produced on a fully automated assembly line, designed to mitigate factors affecting lifespan, such as humidity and temperature extremes.

Technical Features
The capacitors are designed with several technical specifications:

Overload and Overvoltage: Capable of handling 1.3 times the rated current and various levels of overvoltage.
Insulation and Power Ratings: Insulation level of 3/15 kV, power ratings from 5 kvar to 120 kvar, and voltage range from 230 V to 1100 V.
Environmental Conditions: Suitable for temperatures ranging from -40 ºC to 55 ºC, with a relative humidity of 80% and a maximum altitude of 2000 m.

Construction and Assembly
The capacitors feature treated and painted steel enclosures, with specific torque values for terminals. They can be assembled vertically or horizontally, with natural or forced ventilation depending on the cabinet design.

Standards and Compliance
The capacitors comply with international standards CEI 60831-1 and UNE - EN 60831-1.

CSB, State-of-the-art Prismatic Capacitors-6

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...
