MV Surge Capacitors

Specially designed low-loss all-polypropylene capacitors (APP)

Bild Page


Specially designed low-loss all-polypropylene capacitors (APP) Medium voltage power capacitors are produced in film technology where a sheet of plastic film separates two foil electrodes. A typical surge capacitor is comprised of a specially designed capacitor in series with a non-inductive resistor. This combination is connected across the power line. The capacitor limits the rate of rise of transient voltage and thus protects the parallel connected equipment.
