Life Expectancy
The Steelman KVAR units are designed on a 20 year life expectancy. The capacitors are suitable for operation between -40oF to +115oF (-40oC to +46oC). Each individual capacitor cell has an external discharge resistor which reduce the residual voltage to less than 50 volts within one minute after the capacitor is dissconnected from power.
Flammable Liquid
National Electrical Code Article 460-2 permits a maximum of 3 gallons of flammable liquid without the need of enclosing in vaults. All Steelman KVAR units contain less than 3 gallons of flammable liquid. Good installation practice dictates locating the capacitor away from combustible materials and sources of excess heat. These capacitors contain no PCB's.
Steelman KVAR units have, as an option, pilot lights, which, when lit, indicate that a fuse has been blown. This option allows visual maintenance inspection of the KVAR unit.
CAUTION
DO NOT oversize the Steelman KVAR capacitor. The National Electrical Code requires that the total capacitor
rating connected to the load side of a motor controller is not to exceed the rating required to raise the no-load power factor of the motor to unity.
DO NOT connect Steelman KVAR units to the load side of a starter or contactor for motors subject to
reversing, plugging, frequent starts, crane or elevator applications where the load may drive the motor, multispeed motors, or motors involving open transition reduced voltage starting. On such applications, the KVAR capacitors must be installed in the distribution system ahead of the motor controller, and must not be switched with the load motor.
