Main Features
The MRC capacitor series has been designed and developed in accordance with the most updated manufacturing technology. The capacitor electrodes are made with zinc/aluminium metallized polypropylene film duly wound on cylindrical windings. Winding contact heads are obtained by spraying a suitable metal contact layer assuring the units high current load properties as well as a very low inductance connection between the windings and the terminals of the capacitor. Windings are finally encapsulated inside aluminium or plastic enclosures; resistance to mechanical stress and environmental climatic conditions are obtained by the filling of a suitable resin inside the cans which also assures stable capacitance and long life expectancy. A final series of acceptance tests performed on all units in addition to the steady verification of the quality of the components and monitoring of manufacturing assembly facilities assures a high reliability level for all the MRC capacitor series.

Safety
Metallized polypropylene film capacitors, during normal operation and at the end of the useful life can be affected by voltage breakdowns, which as a consequence of the self-healing phenomena originating inside the enclosure, gas by products overpressure. To protect the capacitors from severe and sudden failures, MRC - M capacitors (aluminium can) are equipped with a reliable over pressure safety device which will expand the AL case upwards irreversibly interrupting the rated current. No rigid connection should be provided to the terminal of the capacitor so as to allow the overpressure safety device to operate correctly.

Selection table
Every type of motor requires a selection of capacitor in accordance with the different selection criteria. We reccomend the above tables as a guide line in choosing an appropriate capacitor.


Reactive output power for single phase induction motors is
usually equivalent to the following computation criteria:
Q (Kvar) = 0,75 • P. Motor (Kw)

Reactive output power for three phase induction motors on single phase network system (220V - 50Hz) normally is:
0,116 Kvar (7mF) for every 100 W of three phase motor.

Single phase power supply 230Vac 50Hz
