Power capacitors

The PhaseCap Compact developed by Epcos is a series of PFC capacitors distinguished by long operating life and large pulse strength.

The inrush current can reach up to 300 times and the overcurrent up to twice the rated value.

The capacitors are based on MKK technology featuring concentric three-phase capacitor windings. They reach an operating life of up to 130,000 h to temperature class -40/D and up to 180,000 h to temperature class -40/C.

The B25673A range covers types from 230 to 525 VAC at 50/60 Hz with reactive powers of between 5.0 and 30 kVAr.

The capacitors are factory equipped with shock hazard protected terminals with high pulse strength for various cable diameters.

Like all PFC capacitors from the company, the series is also self-healing due to the MKK technology and a polypropylene dielectric. In addition, the capacitors have an overpressure disconnector that separates them from the power grid if there is a fault.
