Main characteristics
Propivar capacitor with internal fuses, composed of 4 groups
b The exceptional life of Propivar capacitors is due to their temperature withstand,
connected in series, each group comprising 12 elements small temperature rise, chemical stability and overvoltage and overcurrent withstand.
connected in parallel. Temperature withstand
These capacitors can be put into service at low temperatures without any special
precautions being taken.
E14445A
At higher ambient temperatures, the temperature rise is very low, so they can be
operated without any risk of modifying the insulation characteristics of the dielectric.
Chemical stability
Transient overvoltages in circuits and partial discharge levels in tanks cause
accelerated ageing of capacitors. The exceptional life of Propivar capacitors is
closely connected with the intrinsic properties of the dielectric liquid:
b very high chemical stability
Fig. 1 b high absorption capacity for gases generated during partial discharges
b very high dielectric strength.
Overvoltage and overcurrent withstand
E14445B
Other characteristics
The rated reactive power of the unit capacitors is 100 to 600 kvar, according to rated
voltage (see tables opposite).
The capacitance of the capacitors is always between 0.95 and 1.15 times rated
capacitance. Other intermediate powers can be offered on request.
