Power capacitors

Unfused capacitor units

Eaton's Cooper Power series medium-voltage, single-phase, all-film, unfused capacitors feature extended-foil elements, solderless connections and laser-cut aluminum foil in a high stacking factor design. Designed, manufactured and tested to meet or exceed the requirements of applicable ANSI/IEEE/IEC standards, these capacitors are a simple, economical and reliable source of reactive power on electric power systems.

Core features

  • All-film, extended-foil, solderless capacitors with a high stacking factor
  • Stainless-steel tank with light-gray finish for resistance to severely corrosive atmospheres
  • Environmentally acceptable proprietary Edisol VI dielectric fluid that provides an ideal balance between low- and high-ambient temperature operation
  • Light-gray, porcelain bushings: glazed for high strength and durability and hermetically sealed with gasket-free design
  • Internal discharge resistors that reduce terminal voltage to meet IEEE and IEC standards requirements after the capacitor has been disconnected

The benefits of power capacitors

Watch this short video to learn how power capacitors improve your power factor, efficiency and provide substantial benefits to the electrical system.

Wildfire Mitigation unit upgrade

Eaton has developed a Wildfire Mitigation upgrade option that can be added to any capacitor unit duty rating. Design construction features include a thicker wall tank, additional insulation layer, oversized wire leads, and more. This rugged unit is designed to offer a high level of protection and low fire risk, achieving tank rupture curve defined through 20 kA.

Extreme Duty product extension

The extreme-duty capacitor design family has been tailored to application needs. Units are now available in an Extreme-duty Cold (XDC type), Extreme-duty Base (XDB type), and Extreme-duty Hot (XDH type) offerings. This allows for designs that can service continuous performance in ambient temperatures ranging from -50 to +75 °C.

Exceptional dielectric solution

Dielectric system utilizing polypropylene film and proprietary Edisol VI fluid achieves industry-leading ambient temperature applications. Each unit is individually monitored in a closed loop fluid impregnation system to prevent contamination. Fluid impregnation and gas molecule evacuation is superior to batch fill designs, resulting in reduced infantile failure rates and lasting performance. Leak and performance testing is conducted on 100% of units at three key manufacturing gates to assure product integrity.

Surge application solution

Eaton’s surge capacitor offering provides a cost-effective solution to absorb energy generated during surges events – lightning strikes, switching surges, equipment failures, etc. Electrical surges are common occurrences on power systems, which can be damaging to sensitive equipment such as transformers, generators, motors, reactors, and other similar type equipment with insulated windings.

Reliable foil design

Construction features extended-foil elements, mechanically crimped with a laser-cut aluminum foil active edge. Solderless connections eliminate localized heating and cold solder joint failure modes, ensuring exceptional uniform current distribution resulting in outstanding transient performance. Laser cut process precisely controls a uniform rounded edge reducing the electric field stress, significantly increasing the discharge inception voltage (DIV) to the highest design margin in the industry.
