 Low Voltage Capacitors
Key technology
Compact design -low height, weight,
volume with the self-healing feature
and high inrush current withstand
capability
Only three electrically separated
capacitor elements are consists of the 3
phase capacitor, The electrodes are
connected by metal spraying the face
ends of the winding elements. The 3
phase capacitor elements are delta
connected (star connection is available)
to minimize losses. The compact GMKP
capacitor is a self-healing, metalized
poly-propylene film capacitor using
GMKP technology with self-healing
properties. The current-carrying metal
layer (electrode) is vapour-deposited onto
one side of the film; a plus design for
pulse strength of the technology comes in
particular from the enlarged, sensitive
contact area (improved metal spraying).
plus heavy edge film design, as well as all
elements should be passed a special test
with a high inrush current withstand
capability, GMKP ○ R capacitors can
easily handle inrush currents of up to 200
times rated current.
Two process high vacuum system
extended long useful life
After a long drying phase in a high
vacuum to eliminate moisture from the
active element, the capacitor should be
on the two times of high level vacuum
treatment about several days, then it is
impregnated ,sealed and has passed
routine tests.
Quintuple safety system
-Dry technology: instead of a liquid
impregnating agent like oil or PCB, the
capacitor is filled with gas or gas mixed with
the dry resin. Non SF6 design for ecologically
sensitive applications。
-Self-healing: the capacitor repairs itself after
overload
-Overpressure disconnector: this prevents the
capacitor from bursting at the end of its useful
life or through electrical or thermal overload.
FRANKE GMKP special is the double electric
safety system, which not only protect in case
of overpressure, but also switch the capacitor
off in case of over-current. The purpose is to
protect the capacitor against excessive
pressure increase inside. The inner
connections are separated for this purpose
from the main supply.
-One form capacitor cane and three cascade
cylinder sealing, no possibility for leaks
-Reliable double terminals connection
technology with benefits like
■ Simplified parallel connection of
capacitors, clamping device to prevent
loosening of screws.
■ Protection against electric shock hazard,
2
Cable cross-sections up to 32 mm
■ Internal discharge system for extra
reliability and safety
FRANKE GMKP’s special design is the
internal resistors. In case of high power
consumption we so avoid arcs outside the
capacitor to protect the equipment from
burning and over-heating. Another advance of
this design is to reduce the time for
discharging in addition with very low resistor
losses and at least safe space for installing
the capacitor.
