MEDIUM VOLTAGE CAPACITORS AND REACTORS

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document introduces MSDTM FKD-MVTM DSCTM medium voltage capacitors and reactors, emphasizing their eco-friendly design and suitability for AC applications and power factor correction. These components are factory matched for optimal performance.

Specifications and Features

MSD Capacitors: Feature self-healing dielectric technology to prevent short circuits, eliminating the need for special fuses. They include reliable monitoring via pressure switches and are designed to avoid asymmetries, reducing installation costs. The dry design eliminates environmental risks associated with oil-filled capacitors.
FKD-MV Reactors: Designed for detuning applications in medium voltage systems.
DSC Capacitors: Provide surge protection with self-healing capabilities.

Design and Characteristics
MSD technology advances self-healing technology for low-voltage capacitors, allowing medium voltage capacitors to be produced without flammable oils. They are filled with solid materials and feature high-quality insulation for safe operation, complying with relevant electrical and safety standards.

Economic Viability
Although MSD capacitors have slightly higher manufacturing costs due to high-quality materials, overall system costs are reduced when considering protection systems and environmental measures. They are cost-effective for power ranges of 50 to 6000 kvar and suitable for areas with fire risks where oil-filled capacitors are not allowed.

Applications
MSD capacitors are suitable for fixed motor and transformer compensation, automatic capacitor banks, mobile substations, and various filter circuits in the voltage range of 1.9 to 12kV.

Data and Charts
The document includes detailed specifications for various capacitor models, including operating voltages, test voltages, inrush currents, and life expectancy. Capacitors are available in different power and voltage ratings, with specific models listed for different voltage and frequency combinations.

Specifications and Requirements
Capacitors must not exceed the voltage listed in data tables, even in case of malfunctions. In detuned systems, capacitors are exposed to higher voltages due to the series connection with reactors, necessitating a higher rated voltage. The required voltage strength is calculated based on the mains voltage and detuning factor.

Testing and Standards
Capacitors undergo piece testing for dielectric strength before delivery, with permissible retesting at 0.8 times the test voltage. Insulation voltage testing is also conducted, with retesting allowed at the user's discretion.

Definitions

Rated Inductance (LN): Inductance measured at rated current, expressed in milli-Henry.
Detuning Factor (p): Ratio of reactor reactance to capacitor reactance, influencing series resonance frequency.
Series Resonance Frequency (fr): Standard reactors are designed for a 7% detuning factor and a resonance frequency of 189 Hz.
Rated Power (QC): Reactive power based on capacitance, frequency, and voltage ratings.

Current Ratings

Current Rating (IN): RMS value at rated voltage and frequency, excluding harmonics and transients.
Maximum RMS Current Rating (Imax): Maximum permissible continuous current, typically 1.3 times IN.
Pulse Current Strength (IS): Capacitors can handle short-term inrush currents up to 150 times IN.

Operating Conditions
Capacitor lifespan is significantly affected by ambient temperature. ELECTRONICON specifies a climate category T40, ensuring reactor temperatures do not exceed 110°C. Insulation materials comply with class B requirements.

Warranty and Protection
A 3-year limited warranty covers defects from design, materials, or workmanship but excludes improper use or conditions exceeding rated values. Capacitors feature self-healing dielectric structures for protection against overvoltages and short circuits.

Installation and Cooling
Excessive heat can drastically reduce capacitor life. Ensure adequate cooling and avoid placing capacitors near heat sources. Forced ventilation is recommended for applications with detuning reactors.

Specifications and Safety
The document outlines safety and operational guidelines for capacitors manufactured by ELECTRONICON. Capacitors should only be used for their intended applications to avoid hazards such as explosions or fires. They are designed to be short-circuit and over-voltage safe within approved test and operational conditions.

Installation and Cooling
Proper installation and cooling are essential to maintain the lifespan of capacitors. Excessive heat can significantly reduce their lifespan, with a 7°C increase in ambient temperature potentially halving their lifespan. Adequate ventilation and spacing (at least 100mm) around capacitors are recommended to prevent overheating.

The Most Efficient Protection Device: Pressure Switch Die effizienteste Schutzeinrichtung: Druckschalter The failure of self-healing capacitor s is usually accompanied b y the thermal disintegration of dielectric material, causing a gradual rise of the internal pressure. The period during which such rise of pr ssure can happen ranges from seve eral seconds to hours or days. Since the dissipation pr oducts of polypropylene contain explosive organic gasses, a controlled pressure relief into the surrounding atmosphere, e.g. through pressure disks or relief valves, may often be very hazardous.
