The new generation of low voltage capacitors Nokian Capacitors has manufactured self healing dry typed low voltage capacitors since 1980. Today Nokian Capacitors manufactures low voltage units having rated voltages from 200V to 1000V for both frequencies 50Hz and 60Hz. For example, they can have the following applications: F- The capacitor unit has been provided with two level protection comprised of individually fused elements and non-flammable filling around the elements in larger capacitor units which displaces oxygen and absorbs energy in failure situations. G- Over 10 coolling...

FEATURES ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE Metallized electrodes Although the elements used in the DSHI capacitor are treated with silicon oil there is no free liquid. Hence in the extremely unlikely event of an element rupture there is no risk of leaks of pollution. Film dielectric SELF-PROTECTING Extensive testing on DSHI capacitors with elements purposely short circuited by driving a nail through the element case has shown that the impedance of the lead connections and the element itself will limit the fault current to value within the self-healing capabilities of the elements. The energy discharged...

Type DSHI capacitors consist of dry self-protecting metallized internally fused cells assembled in an epoxy painted steel enclosure. Solderless terminal connectors and discharge resistors are enclosed in an indoor/outdoor terminal compartment.

Comprised of Type DSHI units, the Cl 00 series Automatic Switched Banks offer the same totally dry seal-healing metallized polypropylene design with individually internally fuse protected capacitor elements. The installation of a C100 Automatic Switched Bank on the main bus can often meet the varying power factor correction needs of an entire industrial plant. It can also reduce installation and maintenance costs compared to individual capacitors. A PT (included) and a CT, provided by the user, provide the signal necessary for the DPFR Automatic Switched Bank's controller to bring on...

Power Quality Solution in Low Voltage Harmonic Filters ments by combining harmonic duty capable capacitors with iron core reactors. This combination forms a series resonant circuit tuned to the 4.08th harmonic. This blocking bank also acts as a detuned filter removing up to 50% of the lower order harmonic currents from the system. They are CSA and UL Approved and are availaible in both fixed and automatic switched configurations at 240, 480, and 600 volts in indoor (NEMA 1), outdoor (NEMA 3R), and dustproof enclosures. LOW VOLTAGE HARMONIC FILTERS Gentec FT200 and FT400 Series Harmonic...

Power factor is a measure of an electrical system's efficiency. In order to understand how this efficiency is measured it is important to understand a few terms first. • Real, or active power, measured in watts, performs the actual work in an industrial plant, such as creating heat or light or producing machine output. • Reactive, or magnetizing power, measured in vars, provides the magnetizing power to create the flux needed for inductive devices such as induction motors or transformers. ♦ Apparent power, measured in volt amps, is made up of real and reactive power. The relationship of...
