TDK-EPC has extended its range of power factor correction (PFC) capacitors.
The EPCOS PhaseCap Compact series now also comprises types for voltages from 415V, 440V, 480Vand 525Vac.
As an alternative to capacitors with dimensions of 136 mm x 200 mm (D x H), types with dimensions of only 116 mm x 224 mm or 116 mm x 248 mm are now also available, depending on the reactive power that must be compensated.
The capacitors are designed to withstand an inrush current of up to 300 times the rated current. The components are PCB-free.
Their self-healing design means that individual dielectric breakdowns do not destroy the capacitor.
The capacitors are designed for a continuous operating temperature of 65 °C (casing) and a service life of up to 180,000 hours.
