This between the tops of the terminals (and/or device, developed by RBC, is designed to sense the the assembled wire connectors) and a build-up of pressure within the capacitor if a fault plane perpendicular to the capacitor occurs and to interrupt the internal electrical terminals. This clearance must be at least connections before the case can rupture. 0.5 inches plus the electrical spacing requirements of the end application. The PSI carries U.L. * recognition for applications where the specified fault currents are not exceeded. The fault current is the maximum current that is available from the circuit to flow through the capacitor if the capacitor were to become a short circuit with zero impedance. It is the responsibility of the capacitor user to determine what the available fault current is for a particular application. In the Catalog Number listings a four character U.L. Cut-Out Clearance Code, Pxxx, is given. This number is part of the listing for RBC in U.L. File No. E7793. When applying to U.L.

These frequencies range from 180 to 1500 Hz for a 60 Hz system in various combinations of the odd harmonics depending on the type of converter. Generally, there are not significant harmonic currents th above the 25 harmonic. These capacitors can carry a total current of up to 15 amperes RMS (fundamental plus harmonics). The Equivalent Series Resistance (ERS) for each Catalog Number is shown in the ESR tables on this page. This value may be used to calculate the expected watts loss for a particular application. The user must determine the total RMS current (fundamental plus harmonics) for the application. The watts loss is then calculated using the equation: 2 W = I x ESR Where I = Total RMS current And ESR= Value from ESR tables. The calculated watts from this equation must not exceed the allowable watts loss shown on the curve corresponding to the particular capacitor. Two sets of curves are shown, one for natural circulation and one for forced air circulation. NOTES (1) In no case should the total RMS current of 15 amperes be exceeded for any of these capacitor (2) Running the capacitors at case temperatures above 70 ºC will have a significant effect on expected life. (See chart G-1 on page 20) (3) Running the capacitors at voltages above the nominal rated voltage will also result in significantly reduced life.
