EPCOS Product Brief 2015
Power Factor Correction
PhaseCap Compact for Power Quality Solutions
The PhaseCap© Compact series
is based on the EPCOS MKK-
technology, which is known for
many years from the successful
PhaseCap series with its unique
concentric windings.
PhaseCap Compact series are
designed for applications like the
PhaseCap Premium series, such
as:
Automatic PFC
Individual/fixed PFC
Fast/dynamic PFC
Harmonic filtering
Highlights of PhaseCap Compact:
Higher inrush current (up to
400
I
R
) and overcurrent
capability (up to 2.0
I
R
)
Enhanced terminals to permit
the connection of a wide variety
of up to 25 mm
2
cable cross
section
Life expectancy of up to
200 000 hours at temperature
class –40/C
With an output up to 33 kvar and
a voltage range from 230 V AC to
1000 V AC at low height, it meets
the dimensional requirements of
panel builders, especially as for
many types the capacitors
diameter has been reduced in
comparison to the series of
PhaseCap Premium.

PhaseCap Compact
Features and Benefits
Construction
Concentric winding:
Homogeneous distribution of
the winding pressure allows better flow of the self-
healing gases. No stress or overload near the core.
Less internal soldering points result in more reliability.
MKK-technology:
Metallized polypropylene as
dielectric and electrode make the MKK-series suitable
for very high current load.
Wavy cut and heavy edge:
Special way of film
cutting leads to lower contact resistance and thus
leads to lower contact losses and a higher inrush
current capability compared to the straight cut.
Compact design:
Thanks to the concentric winding,
small dimensions allow high packing density in the
panel.
Cylindrical aluminum can with stud:
Easy installation,
mounting position upright and/or horizontal possible.
Electrical
Very high life expectancy:
Reduced investments for
maintenance and replacement.
High inrush current withstand ability (up to 400
I
R
)
and high overcurrent capability (1.6 … 2.0
I
R
):
High inrush and overcurrents mean an extreme stress
to the capacitor. The higher the value of withstand
ability, the longer the device will operate at best
performance, thus avoiding premature failure.
Safety
Self-healing:
The capacitor repairs itself after a
punctual overload and remains fully functional during
the process. Capacitance losses caused by self-
healing are in negligible range.
Overpressure disconnector:
Straightforward
disconnection at end of service life or in case of
overpressure inside the capacitor.
Touch proof terminals:
Protection against electric
shock, easy connection.
Discharge device:
Ceramic discharge module
pre-mounted up to 660 V; discharge module block for
types
≥
660 V.
Cable connection easy to set up, outstanding thermal
dissipation, secure clamping point without affecting the
main circuit.
