Key technologies Compact design, low height, weight & volume The capacitors are made up of only three electrically separated capacitor elements. The electrodes are connected by metal spraying to face ends of the winding elements. The three phase capacitor elements are delta (or star connection) connected to minimize losses, the any position mounting is available on request. Excellent selfhealing feature The GMKPg capacitor is a selfhealing that repairs itself after overload, because of the metallized polypropylene film capacitor using GMKPg technology with selfhealing properties. The currentcarrying metal layer (electrode) is evaporated onto one side of the film.the reduction in capacitance caused by selfhealing is less than 0PF only. Break Down Evaporate SelfHealing Selfhealing process High inrush current withstand capability GMKPg capacitor can easily handle a high inrush current withstand capability of up to 200 tines rated current by the technologies of the variable tension winding process ensure the excellent tension between the metallization (with zinc and aluminum) and polypropylene, the excellent tightly contact between metallization and electroplated coated layer. Additional design for pulse strength of the technology comes in particular from the enlarged, sensitive contact area (improved metal spraying and heavy edge film design), as well as all elements have been proved by a special test with a high inrush current its with standing capability. Two high vacuum process system extend the useful life After a long drying phase in a high vacuum to eliminate moisture from the active element, the capacitor should be in high level vacuum (the Max. vacuum class is 3 Bar) treatment twice about several days. Then it is impregnated, and has to pass routine tests, extended useful life of 1,000 operation hours. Gas dry technology Instead of a liquid impregnating agent like oil or PCB, the capacitor is filled with gas (normal is pure N2 gas) Non SF6 design for ecologically sensitive applications, onflammable and an additional features are reducing the weight on average by15% to 30%. support mounting te capacitor in any position. pure N2 gas of environmentally friendly design when disposing of the capacitor, no liquids or toxic gasses need to be considered..
Quintuple safety system of over pressure & over current This prevents the capacitor from bursting at the end of its useful life or through electrical or thermal overload. All capacitors featured in this catalog are consequently fitted with a disconnector that responds to overpressure. If numerous electric breakdowns occur at the end of service life or as the result of thermal or electric overload, the formation of gas produces a fast rise in pressure inside the capacitor case. With cylindrical cases this causes a change in length because of curvature of the lid or stretching of the expansion bead. Expansion beyond a certain degree will separate the internal wires and disconnect from the line. Then the capacitor receives no more energy and the development of gas stops. GMKP has a special double electrical safety system, which not only prevents overpressure, but also switches the capacitor off to prevent overcurrent. The purpose is to protect the capacitor against excessive pressure increase inside. The inner connections are separated for this purpose from the main supply.
Special design Internal discharge system The internal resistors are GMKP's special design. In case of high power consumption we avoid arcs outside the capacitor so that protect the equipment from burning or overheating. Another advantage of this design is to reduction of the discharging periods with very low resistor losses and guarantee of safe place for installing the capacitor.

Innovative design The MultiProtection Function Capacitor This MultiProtection function can send alarm or control signals to make the broken capacitors or circuits automatically stop operating, so that the sustainability of system tuning ratio or filter accuracy, as well as the protection of the safe operation is ensured.meanwhile, the function can cut off itself automatically before the capacitor s interior components overheating and surpass its temperature limit and it connects again when the capacitor s interior temperature recovers. So the capacitor s lifespan is extended. This will save operating costs in a long period and makes it be a new and long life style capacitor.this design capacitor are available on request.(catalogue of Series GMKPgd MultiProtection Capacitor). multiprotection terminals K1 K2 GMKPgd Capacitor GMKPgd Capacitor with internal tuning ( ltering) and temperature protection K1:capacitor failure protection K2:capacitor over temperature protection The MultiCap 3P/4L A N B C MultiCap + this innovative design of MultiCap.(Series of GMKPg 3P/4L Capacitors) modules contain of three pcs single phase in star connection with the phase N output, that ensure a Multi Power Factor Correction of three phase & single phase compensation by one capacitor instead of 3 Pcs single phase capacitors in order to save the mounting space, mounting time and the costs.

Any loss or damage should be notified immediately to your closest our agent. 1 H h H h H h H h D D D D GMKPg,GMKPgf caapcitors GMKPgd capacitor GMKPg 3P/4L capacitor GMKPgw capacitor Storage:Indoor, in dry, dust free and noncorrosive environments,protected from ο vibrations or shocks. Storage temperature: minimum: 40 /40 F, maximum:75 ο /167 F. Transportation and handling:in case severe conditions of transportation are expected, make sure the fixation points are strong enough to withstand weight of the capacitor and vibrations that may occur. WARNING! Failure to respect the installation rules may lead to premature failure, other material damage to installations or bodily injury. Environment: The capacitor do not contain PCB,or any other toxic or banned materials.you can disposal it as the normal industry wastes. Installation:Applicable standards:iec 31 Parts 1 and 2. Current local regulations.protection:ip00 by default and IP20 & IP54 with optional top cover.installation and use:indoor installation on firm foundation or fixed on a rigidplate/frame in wellventilated situations where the air temperature around the ο ο capacitor does not exceed 35 /95 F over one year, 45 /113 F over 24 hours and ο 55 /131 F (according to IEC 31 Parts 1 and 2 for the temperature category product).always refer to the nameplate for exact specifications. WARNING! The ambient temperature for capacitors inside a cubicle is the temperature around the capacitors and not around the cubicle. WARNING! Like other standard capacitor units, capacitor discharge devices are not suitable for use with rapid switching rates like thyristor switched banks. The minimum off time of capacitor is 40~ sec. Additional external resistors are not a solution for such cases. Only specially designed capacitors must be used in such applications.
Vertical and horizontal mounting: WARNING! Following instructions on mounting must be strictly followed. Incorrect mounting could damage the capacitors. The capacitors must be fixed in such a way as to ensure a natural airflow from bottom to top.the minimum free necessary space between groups of inline adjacent units is 2025 mm (Fig.).In case of vertical mounting, use a punched mounting plate or support bars to allow free airflow around capacitors units (Fig.). Installation in a cubicle: WARNING! Guidelines only apply if the following limits are respected: Maximum room temperature: 40 (1 hour). Average maximum room temperature over 24 hours: 35. Average maximum room temperature over 1 year: 25. When the capacitors are installed in a cubicle the components should be placed in such a way as to optimize the cooling. Do preferably place devices with high heat dissipation above the capacitors to avoid overheating them. When reactors are used they should be placed in such a way that they do not radiate heat directly on the capacitors. A thermal barrier is recommended. Reactors do in general dissipate much more heat, so their thermal impact through convection must also be taken into account. Natural air circulation: The difference in height between air inlet and air outlet should be large enough to improve the air circulation. The airflow should be channeled in such a way as to well cool the hottest spots in the cubicle. Air should flow from the bottom to the top of the cubicle. The crosssection of the top air outlet should be at least equal to 1.21.5 times the crosssection of the bottom air inlet. Forced ventilation: Forced cooling using a fan is sometimes required. Please refer to the following recommendations: Consider the maximum ambient temperature of the installation site including the heating effect of the capacitor installation itself. Consider the heat dissipated from all the components and apparatus in the cubicle: reactors, capacitors, contactors, fuses, etc. Consider the maximum permissible temperatures for all the components and apparatus. Consider how to direct the airflow with respect to the position of the capacitors (Fig.). The use of an over temperature protection is recommended in order to switch the bank off in case of fan failure or over temperature due to other cause. Regular maintenance and cleaning of any filters is necessary. Without regular cleaning the cooling system may become inefficient. capacitor fixation (Fig.) Four fixation stud are provided for M12 screws (included)..make sure that the rigidity of the support and the screws are sufficient to bear the weight of the capacitor unit. Electrical connection: Cables should be rated at minimum 1.5~1.7 times the nominal capacitor current. Appropriate cable shoes must be used in accordance with good common practice of electrical installation. When you connect the supply cables with the terminals, please above the Max. permissible torque is 1.2Nm.Periodically check that connections and terminals are right. 20 20 K1 K2 K1: capacitor failure protection K2: capacitor over temperature protection connection cables group capacitors necessary space 20mm Internal terminals GMKPgd capacitor Earthing:Earthing is achieved through fixation points of the capacitor enclosure. Remark: this implies that an extra cable between the capacitor enclosure and the earthing contact of the installation is required in case the capacitor unit is fixed on an isolating material.
Harmonics:Installation of capacitors on networks disturbed by harmonics may require special precautions especially when there is a risk of resonance phenomena. Commissioning:With the equipment isolated from the supply, check: Cabling is properly connected (earthing may be considered); Ambient ventilation is adequate; Correct tightness of the connections; IP20 top cover is well fixed, if any (see section Optional accessories ) Optional accessories: The optional top cover allows the capacitor unit to get IP20 or IP54 protected as per the IEC 529 provided that appropriate glands or grummets are used. Discharge resistor The capacitor unit is delivered with factoryinstalled discharge resistors to comply with IEC 31 and allow a decrease of the residual voltage to less than V after 1 min. disconnection from supply. Make sure the delay before the capacitor is reenergized is not shorter than 40~ sec. Failure to follow this rule may cause damage and reduce the lifetime of the capacitor. Disposal: The impregnants and filling materials contain resin or polyurethane mixtures. The gas filled capacitors contain only pure neutral. You can disposal it as the normal industry wastes. Please make sure that if the capacitor may still be charged with high voltage! Maintenance: Ensure safety procedures are completed; Yearly maintenance should include: Removal of dust deposits, cleaning of all parts; Check of tightness of all electrical connections; Check of ambient temperature; Check condition of discharge resistors.
