NEW GENERATION P.F.C. CAPACITORS
The Electronicon MKPg
gas filled capacitors are out performing the old oil and resin filled
capacitors. These new generation units are possibly the only capacitors
being marketed in Southern Africa, which are genuinely approved by
CSA (Canada)
and UL (U.S.A.) Generally other makes only conform to various
standards and in most cases a “VDE Surveillance Mark” is referred to. Note
this is not an Approval Mark. Most, if not all capacitors, are in
house tested to IEC 60831-1 and 2, and VDE 0560-46 and 47 as recommended
by VDE.
The new generation 400
volt cylindrical units are manufactured to the highest standards, which is
a “D” rated temperature class (-250C to +550C) and
can be subjected to a permanent over-voltage of 440 volts. The 8 hours/day
rating is 480 volt (+20%), which is normally only 10% in other makes.
These new technology capacitors are also fitted with the standard
“Break-Action” safety mechanism.
Electroparts (Pty) Ltd
are the sole agents for Electronicon P.F.C. Capacitors and their average
stock holding in 400 volt units is 15,000 Kvar. Electroparts also
manufacture a range of standard boxed capacitors as well as special
sizes for replacement purposes.
