- Core Product Features
- Self-healing Capability: When local breakdown occurs in the metallized film dielectric, the electrode metal layer evaporates instantly to form an insulating area, automatically restoring performance and extending service life.
- Safety Design: Equipped with built-in discharge components, the residual voltage drops to a safe level within 3 minutes after power-off to prevent electric shock hazards.
- Reliable Insulation: The rapeseed oil impregnation system delivers excellent heat dissipation and insulation performance, suitable for harsh working conditions.
- Durable Structure: Metal enclosure combined with sealed structure resists mechanical impact, dust and moisture, ideal for industrial environments.
- High-efficiency Compensation: Low dissipation factor (tanδ≤0.0015) ensures high compensation efficiency and minimal self-power consumption.
- Scenarii de aplicare & Specificații de instalare
Scenarii de aplicare:
0.4kV low-voltage distribution rooms, factory workshops and commercial building power distribution systems.
Occasions with concentrated inductive loads (motoare, transformatoare, electric welders), to offset reactive power and improve power factor to ≥0.9.
Improve voltage quality, reduce line loss and transformer load.
Installation Points:
- Install in a ventilated and dry distribution box/cabinet free of corrosive gas, avoid direct sunlight exposure.
- Adopt three-phase star (Y) connection; connect phases A/B/C to corresponding phase lines respectively, and neutral line to N pole (if available).
- Connect in series with specialized fuses/circuit breakers (32A recommended) to prevent expansion of short-circuit faults.
- Reserve a heat dissipation space of ≥15cm; maintain appropriate spacing when multiple capacitors are connected in parallel.
- Tighten terminal connections according to the torque specified by the manufacturer (usually 6~8N·m) to prevent loosening and overheating.
- Live operation is strictly prohibited; wait for at least 3 minutes after power-off before touching the terminals.
- Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Routine Maintenance:
Conduct quarterly visual inspections: check for no bulging, oil leakage or deformation; ensure terminals are free from overheating and oxidation.
Measure operating temperature: enclosure temperature ≤55℃; if abnormal, investigate overcurrent or harmonic issues.
Test capacitance value: recommend replacement if deviation exceeds ±15%.
Record operating current and voltage to ensure they are within rated ranges.
Common Faults & Solutions:
| Fenomen de eroare | Possible Causes | Solutions |
| Enclosure Bulging/Oil Leakage | Overvoltage/overcurrent/high temperature/aging | Stop use immediately and replace with new products |
| Fuse Blowing | Internal short circuit/excessive harmonics/wiring errors | Inspect the circuit, eliminate faults and replace with fuses of the same specification |
| Poor Compensation Effect | Capacity attenuation/loose wiring/controller malfunction | Measure capacitance value, tighten terminals and inspect the compensation controller |
| Abnormal Overheating | Poor contact/high ambient temperature/overload | Clean contacts, improve ventilation and reduce load |
| Discharge Failure | Damaged discharge resistor | Conduct professional testing and replace the capacitor if necessary |
- Selecţie & Replacement Recommendations
Selection Matching:
System Voltage: 0.4 series is preferred for 400V systems; BZMJ0.45-20-3 is recommended for 450V systems.
Capacity Calculation: Configure 70%~90% of the reactive power of the load, or estimate 20%~30% of the transformer capacity.

- Avertismente de siguranță
- The capacitor is an energy storage device; short circuit is strictly prohibited. Ensure complete discharge before installation.
- All wiring, maintenance and replacement operations must be performed in the power-off state.
- Using the capacitor beyond the specified temperature, voltage or humidity range will significantly shorten its service life and cause potential safety hazards.
- Scrap capacitors must be disposed of as hazardous waste and shall not be discarded at will (containing oil and metal components).
