E05/E06 - Capacitors Type A for parallel compensation

Product catalog summary

Introduction
AC capacitors are utilized for enhancing power factor in fluorescent and gas discharge lamps, achieving a power factor greater than 0.9. These capacitors are produced using MKP technology with a low-loss dielectric made from pure polypropylene film, and they are free from PCB and other toxic substances.

Specifications
Designed for 250V, 50/60Hz networks, these capacitors have a test voltage of 2.15 UN ac and 3000V ac, with an operational temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. They include a discharge resistor that reduces voltage to less than 50V within 60 seconds, with a tolerance of ±10% (optional ±5%).

Standards and Approvals
Compliant with IEC/DIN EN 61048:2006 for safety and IEC/DIN EN 61049 for performance, these capacitors also have GOST and CQC approvals.

Design and Construction
Available with or without internal temperature fuses, these capacitors feature push-wire terminals and integrated discharge resistors. They are constructed with plastic or aluminum cans and can be mounted in various positions.

Operating Instructions
Safe operation requires adherence to specified electrical and thermal limits. Capacitors should not be exposed to dew or high humidity, with hermetically sealed options recommended for such conditions.

Procedures
Capacitors should be mounted using an M8 base mounting stud, with lateral clip options available. They can be installed in any position but should be kept away from heat and UV radiation. Special stabilized plastics are available for chemically exposed environments.

Standards and Compliance
RoHS compliance is confirmed for capacitors manufactured since October 2005, with no hazardous substances used. Fire load and disposal procedures are detailed, recommending recycling through professional centers.

Recommendations
Avoid overvoltage and excessive heat to prevent reduced service life. Specific guidelines for overvoltage durations are provided to prevent failure.

Safety and Disposal
Made from flame-retardant materials, capacitors are classified as non-hazardous for transport. Proper disposal methods are outlined, emphasizing use only for intended applications to avoid safety risks.

Key Data from Tables and Charts
Data includes relative humidity limits, operating temperature effects on service life, and overvoltage duration limits. A 10% increase in voltage or a 7°C increase in temperature can halve the expected lifetime of a capacitor.

Specifications and Safety Measures
Potential risks include overtemperature, overvoltage, incorrect application, and poor maintenance. Internal protective mechanisms have limits, and exceeding these can lead to failures.

Self-Healing Dielectric
Capacitors use self-healing dielectric structures that isolate short-circuit points, maintaining functionality. This ability diminishes with age and constant overload.

Temperature Fuse for Type A Capacitors
A thermal fuse is available for lighting capacitors without overpressure protection, melting at critical temperatures to prevent re-ignition.

Warnings and Recommendations
The safety system is effective only within permitted load limits. Strong overvoltages and external heat can cause rapid temperature and pressure increases, potentially leading to explosions.

Warranty Information
A two-year limited warranty covers defects from design, materials, or workmanship, excluding improper use, maintenance, or installation, and normal wear and tear.

Packing Details
Dimensions and packing details for various box types used for shipping capacitors are provided.

Important: ! Overvoltage has a dramatic effect on service Life and risk of faillie: on average, a 10% increase of the operating voltage halves the expected life-time, or in other words, doubles the failure rate of a capacitor (compare "FIT rate" in our brochure "Application Notes"). ! Subject to inductive components within the capacitor circuit, motor run capacitors and capacitors connected in series with luminaire ballasts, are exposed to voltages which permanently exceed the rated mains voltage. This, and the tolerances of all elements in the circuit as well as their drift due to ageing effects,...
