General Remarks
FRAKO Power Factor Correction Capacitors are produced in unique advanced technology and incorporate
a triple safety feature. FRAKO is the first capacitor manufacturer who succeeded to combine self-healing
capacitor film with segmented film and overpressure disconnection. This manufacturing technique guarantees significantly improved operational reliability of capacitors on power factor correction. We reserve the right
to make alterations which are based on newly acquired knowledge or which contribute to an improvement in
our products.
Technical Remarks
For the operation of Power Factor Correction Capacitors three aspects are of utmost importance:
n High overload capacity
n Long life expectancy
n Safe reaction at overload
Overload Capacity
In networks where the pollution with harmonics is permanently increasing, surplus loads in capacitors have
to be reckoned with. Apart from the higher voltage load it is especially the higher effective current during
network resonances, that can considerably further stress the capacitors:
Capacitor current
If, for example, the 11th harmonic is present with 8 % of the rated network voltage, the r.m.s. value of the
rated voltage is only increased by some 0.3 %, but the current in the capacitors will exceed its rated value
by 33 %. It becomes clear that the ability of a capacitor to withstand excessive current is significantly greater
than the ability to withstand excessive voltage.
Therefore FRAKO designs its capacitors as follows:
n Max. overcurrent up to 2.2 times rated current
n Max. inrush current up to 300 times rated current
Life Expectancy
The use of thoroughly tested material as well as careful processing ensures quality and a long life expectancy of the products. FRAKO produces its capacitors according to own specifications, which surpass by far the
requirements of EN 60831-1/2. Quality tests following each single manufacturing step, verify an outstanding
manufacturing quality. Combined with a unique capacitor manufacturing technology, FRAKO achieves a
worldwide leading durability.
For example, the consistently low power loss over many years is achieved by using a special mineral filler
and stabilizer which can avoid permanent partial discharges within the dielectric. Vacuum drying and temperature storage over several days avoid oxygen inclusion, which would accelerate the aging process of a
capacitor. This means an extra effort in our production which, however, pays-off with a longer life expectancy.
Safety Features
FRAKO Power Factor Correction Capacitors operate with triple safety:
n Self-healing at over-voltage
n Reliable in operation because of segmented film
n An overpressure disconnector disconnects the capacitors from the mains at the end of their lifetime or at
dangerous overload

Application
FRAKO manufactures three series of Power Factor Correction Capacitors: Basic, Standard and Premium.
We recommend Basic Capacitors for standard automatic Power Factor Correction Systems without detuning
and for fixed capacitors. Standard capacitors are recommended for automatic detuned Power Factor Correction Systems and fixed capacitors. Premium capacitors should be used for tuned and detuned filter circuits
and for dynamic Power Factor Correction Systems. All three series of capacitors are of excellent FRAKO
quality. FRAKO holds the Management System Certificate ISO 9001 and the Environmental Management
System ISO 14001.
Mechanical Construction
Cylindrical aluminium case with mounting stud M12 x 12, low loss self-healing dielectric made from segmented metallized polypropylene film. Filled with a PCB-free, flame inhibiting, mineral filler with adhesive
stabilizer and integrated mechanical overpressure disconnector. Permanently connected external discharge resistors at the terminals. The connecting terminal, which is available as an accessory, protects against
direct contact of the fast-on terminals and meets the protection class IP 20.
Design
FRAKO Power Factor Correction Capacitors are available as three-phase capacitors in 3 versions: Basic,
Standard and Premium. The single-phase capacitors are available as Standard version.
Rating
1.1 - 30kvar; 300 - 610V; 50/60Hz (higher voltages on request!)
Power Loss
Approx. 0.5Watt/kvar measured at the connecting terminal including discharge resistors.
Approx. 0.2Watt/kvar measured at the capacitor coils.
Temperature Class
up to -40C; +65C
Discharging
According to EN 60831, every Power Factor Correction Capacitor must have a discharge device which
guarantees a discharge to 75V within 3 minutes as a protection against electric shock. All FRAKO capacitors
have integrated discharge resistors which guarantee a discharge below 50V within one minute.
