Single-phase intelligent capacitor instruction manual

What are taro single phase capacitor start and run high speed monoblocks?

Taro Single Phase Capacitor Start and Run High Speed Monoblocks are manufactured using high quality raw materials and components using state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and will give trouble free performance if properly installed and maintained. These monoblocks are compact pumping systems with the pump and motor mounted on a common shaft.

How do you handle a capacitor unit?

The tank of the capacitor units provides a hermetic seal for the internal elements and dielectric fluid. DO NOT drop, jar, or otherwise handle a capacitor in a manner that would violate the integrity of the hermetic seal. DO NOT lift capacitor units by the bushings. Use only the hanger brackets.

Can a capacitor bank be operated at a high voltage?

Operation of the capacitor bank at voltages above 110% of rated voltage for extended periods of time will shorten the life of the capacitors and should be permitted only in emergency conditions. These overvoltages are permissible since a safety factor is provided in the design of the capacitors.

Do I need a system study when applying capacitor banks?

When applying capacitor banks, a system study is recommended to determine if there will be any resonance between the capacitors and the system. Please contact an Eaton’s Cooper Power series product representative for services provided.

What happens if you fail to install a capacitor bank?

Failure to properly select, install or maintain power distribution and transmission equipment can result in death, severe personal injury, and equipment damage. Service Information MN230010EN covers instructions for the installation of metal-enclosed capacitor banks.

How long does it take to re-energize a capacitor bank?

For capacitor banks with units containing discharge resistors designed to discharge the capacitor unit from peak rated voltage to less than 75 V in ten (10) minutes, wait at least ten (10) minutes before re-energizing the bank after it has been disconnected from the system. These times may be reduced with consultation of the factory.
