    WORKING PRINCIPLE
    Electrical schematic diagram of a shunt power capacitor: three-phase grid A/B/C, current transformers CT, fuses FU, switching contactor KM, reactive power compensation controller, and capacitor bank C1-C3 with discharge resistors R1-R3 in star connection feeding an inductive load

    This box-type shunt capacitor uses metallized polypropylene film as the core dielectric, connected in parallel in low voltage distribution systems.

    It compensates reactive power generated by inductive loads such as motors, transformers and inverters, effectively raises system power factor, stabilizes grid voltage, and reduces transmission energy loss.

    The self-healing function automatically isolates tiny breakdown points on the film to avoid short circuit failure; the built-in discharge resistor ensures safe voltage drop after power cut, improving operation and maintenance safety.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
    1. What’s the difference between common compensation and split compensation?
    Three-phase common compensation is suitable for balanced three-phase load; split-phase compensation is recommended for scenarios with heavy single-phase load and unbalanced three-phase current.
    2. What is the difference between box-type and cylindrical capacitors?
    Box-type capacitors have wider capacity range (up to 100kvar), suitable for centralized large-capacity compensation; cylindrical capacitors are more compact, flexible for modular cabinet layout.
    3. What should I pay attention to during installation?
    Install in well-ventilated area, avoid direct sunlight; maximum tilt angle ≤30°; connect terminals with flexible copper wires.
    4. How to perform safe maintenance?
    Disconnect power first, wait at least 5 minutes for full self-discharge, then short-circuit terminals with insulated tools before servicing.
    5. Can these box-type capacitors be used with detuned reactors?
    Yes, they can be matched with 7% or 14% detuned reactors for harmonic suppression scenarios; please select higher rated voltage when matching reactors.
