1 www.capcom.mx ## **Capcom Capacitors Capacitors for Gereal Purpose Applications** Genteq metallized film capacitors are unsurpassed in terms of size, weight, performance, and reliability for AC applications. Capcom over 60 year of capacitor manufacturing experience to the product lines described in this publication. These capacitors represent the best in product design for long-term reliability and safe operation. Capcom´s materials, product, and process development work continue to provide capacitor users with outstanding total value. The specific products in this bulletin are aimed at market / application segments for General Purpose, Power Supply, and Electronic Power Conversion. The GEM III General Purpose Capacitors are used for filtering on a wide variety of light industrial equipment. The conversion of electrical power and uninterruptible power supplies and drive control systems requires filter capacitors. An application note is included to help customers in the t h i d f th it 2 www.capcom.mx ## **GEM III Construction GEM III Series Construction** Capcom´s GEM III capacitors are manufactured with high-grade metallized polypropylene film. This film is in the range of 5 to 10 microns thick, depending on the application, voltage, and conditions. The metallized electrode is several hundred angstroms thick. The film is wound into capacitor rolls on high-speed, high- precision machines. The winding is extremely tight so that there is not enough space between the layers for corona (localized partial electrical discharges) to occur. The rolls are sprayed on both ends with metal to make the connection to the extremely thin edges of the metallized electrodes. This process is critical to the quality and performance of the capacitors. The rolls are assembled in metal cases, Capcom´s proprietary dielectric liquid is introduced under vacuum, and the capacitors are sealed. They are then subjected to 100% electrical testing for capacitance, dissipation factor, and high potential electrical withstand, both terminal-to-terminal and terminal-to-case. 3 www.capcom.mx ## **Pressure Sensitive Interrupter** All the capacitors listed in this publication contain Capcom´s Pressure Sensitive Interrupter (PSI). This device, is designed to sense the build-up of pressure within the capacitor if a fault occurs and to interrupt the internal electrical connections before the case can rupture. The PSI carries U.L.* recognition for applications where the specified fault currents are not exceeded. The fault current is the maximum current that is available from the circuit to flow through the capacitor if the capacitor were to become a short circuit with zero impedance. It is the responsibility of the capacitor user to determine what the available fault current is for a particular application. In the Catalog Number listings a four character U.L. Code, Pxxx, is given. This number is part of the listing for Capcom in U.L. File No. E322597. When applying to U.L. for approvals or recognition of equipment using these capacitors refer to the Pxxx number and not the Catalog Number of the capacitor in question. Proper operation of the PSI requires that the cover be able to expand without restriction. The following mounting considerations should be noted in mounting the these capacitors. *Underwriter´s Laboratory 4 www.capcom.mx ## **Mounting Consideretarions** ## **Vertical Clereance** There must be sufficient clearance between the tops of the terminals (and/or the assembled wire connectors) and a plane perpendicular to the capacitor terminals. This clearance must be at least 0.5 inches plus electrical spacing requirements of the end application. 0.5" min. plus end application spacing |**Case Style**|**a**|**b**||**Case Style**|**a**| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |A|2.00|1.00||P|1.62| |B|2.25|1.25||S|1.88| |C|2.50|1.62||T|2.38| |D|3.25|1.62|||| ## **Cut-Out Clereance** In certain instances, capacitors are mounted with the top of the capacitors case resting against the chassis and the terminals protruding through the chassis. Care must be taken to see that the cutout in the chassis is large enough. The following dimensions are recommended. 5 www.capcom.mx ## **General Purpose AC Capacitors – GEM III** 4¢capcom This series of GEM III is **designed specifically for applications such as AC filters where harmonic frequencies greater than 60Hz are common.** Application Data is provided starting on page 9 that gives the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) for these units. This allows the user to calculate the losses for each design / application and to ensure that they are kept within the permissible limits. Any questions regarding the suitability of a capacitor for a particular application may be referred to Capcom Engineers by contacting your Capcom sales representative. ## **SPECIFICATIONS:** Available Capacitance Range: 2 to 120µF (Specail ratings upon request) Capacitance Tolerance ±6% Capacitance Variation with Temperature: See Chart M-3 on page 11 Rated Voltage: See Rating Tables.

es| The 97F8000 Series of capacitors may be used in AC applications where the voltage waveform is nonsinusoidal. This Application Note is provided to assist in the correct use of the capacitors where higher frequency harmonic currents are present. If you need further assistance please contact Capcom Capacitors Operation through your normal sales channel. Higher frequency currents are commonly encountered in the filter circuits of Static Power Converters. These frequencies range from 180 to 1500 Hz for a 60 Hz system in various combinations of the odd harmonics depending on the type of converter. Generally, there are not significant harmonic currents above the 25th harmonic. These capacitors can carry a total current of up to 15 amperes RMS (fundamental plus harmonics). The Equivalent Series Resistance (ERS) for each Catalog Number is shown in the ESR tables on this page. This value may be used to calculate the expected watts loss for a particular application. The user must determine the total RMS current (fundamental plus harmonics) for the application. The watts loss is then calculated using the equation: **W=I2 x ESR I** = Total RMS current **ESR** = Value from ESR Tables The calculated watts from this equation must not exceed the allowable watts loss shown on the curve corresponding to the particular capacitor. Two sets of curves are shown, one for natural i l ti d f f d i i l ti **NOTES:** **(1)** In no case should the **total RMS current** of **15 amperes** be exceeded for any of these capacitors **(2)** Running the capacitors at case temperatures above 70ºC will have a significant effect on expected life. (See chart G-1 on page 11). **(3)** Running the capacitors at voltages above the nominal rated voltage will also results in significantly reduced life. (See chart G-2 on page 11). 9 www.capcom.mx ## **ALLOWABLE WATTS LOSS – Natural Circulation** **==> picture [323 x 235] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

This Application Note is provided to assist in the correct use of the capacitors where higher frequency harmonic currents are present. If you need further assistance please contact Capcom’s Capacitors Operation through your normal sales channel. Higher frequency currents are commonly encountered in the filter circuits of Static Power Converters. These frequencies range from 180 to 1500 Hz for a 60 Hz system in various combinations of the odd harmonics depending on the type of converter. Generally, there are not significant harmonic currents above the 25[th ] harmonic. These capacitors can carry a total current of up to 15 amperes RMS (fundamental plus harmonics). The Equivalent Series Resistance (ERS) for each Catalog Number is shown in the ESR tables on this page. This value may be used to calculate the expected watts loss for a particular application. The user must determine the total RMS current (fundamental plus harmonics) for the application. The watts loss is then calculated using the equation: **W=I[2 ] x ESR I =** Total RMS current **ESR =** Value from ESR Tables The calculated watts from this equation must not exceed the allowable watts loss shown on the curve corresponding to the particular capacitor. Two sets of curves are shown, one for natural i l i d f f d i i l **NOTES** i **(1)** In no case should the **total RMS current** of **15 amperes** be exceeded for any of these capacitors **(2)** Running the capacitors at case temperatures above 70ºC will have a significant effect on expected life. (See chart G-1 on page 16). **(3)** Running the capacitors at voltages above the nominal rated voltage will also results in significantly reduced life. (See chart G-2 on page 16). 14 www.capcom.mx ## **ALLOWABLE WATTS LOSS – Natural Circulation** **==> picture [8 x 151] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
