What temperature should a capacitor be installed at?

See capacitor nameplate for IP degree. Indoor installation on firm foundation or fixed on a rigid plate/frame in well-ventilated situations where the air temperature around the capacitor does not exceed 35°C/95°F over one year, 45°C/113°F over 24 hours and 55°C/131°F (according to IEC 60831 Parts 1 and 2 for a -25/D temperature category product).

How do you install a capacitor bank?

Insert the two 3/4-in. bolts through the holes, using washers and lockwashers as needed. Thread the nuts onto the bolts but do not tighten. Using the lifting eyes on the capacitor bank frame, lift the capacitor bank, positioning it at the pole so that the bolts can slip into the slots on the capacitor bank pole-mounting bracket. (Figure 3)

How do I install a capacitor on a PC board?

You are going to install the capacitors (and later other components) on the back side of the PC board. There is no silk screen on the back of the board. In order to avoid the possibility of installing a capacitor backwards, I mark the board with the reference designator (C1, C2, etc) and the polarity.

How do I know if my capacitor bank Assembly is good?

Each capacitor bank assembly shipped is in good condition when it leaves the factory. Immediately upon receipt of a capacitor bank shipment: Check each capacitor nameplate to make sure the rating is correct for the application. Check the bank and each capacitor case and bushing for signs of rough handling and shipping damage.

How do you ground a capacitor bank?

Ground the neutral of ungrounded capacitor banks. For a fixed pole-mounted capacitor bank, ground the jumper leads on the source side of the capacitor unit between the fuses cutout and capacitor unit terminal.

How do I assemble the clmd13 capacitor units?

CLMD13 units are delivered with top protection covers already mounted. Unscrew them before assembling. Place the CLMD13 capacitor units on a plane and firm punched surface (or support bars), side by side. Please note the CLMD13 orientation is highlighted by top “U” marking next to its power terminals as well as an arrow print on the top cover.
