Construction, cautions and warnings

CONSTRUCTION Internal construction:

Dielectric: Polypropylene film
Capacitor electrodes:
Vacuum deposited
Casing: Plastic case with
epoxy resin sealing
flame retardant (UL94 V-0)
Terminal: Parallel tinned copper,
2 and 4 pins

Cautions and Warnings:

Mechanical overloads

Attention: The capacitor is designed for mounting on a PC board. After it has been soldered to the PC board do not move
the capacitor. The capacitor shall not be mounted on places where vibrations or accelerations occur. Do not exceed the
tested ability to withstand vibration. Avoid any compressive, tensile or flexural stress.

Note: Movement of the capacitor within the case can cause low insulation resistance,
shorts, failure on terminals and the capacitor case.

Overload

Attention: Do not overload the capacitor. Avoid overload of the capacitor and consider the flammability of materials.

Impulses

Attention: If electric energy impulses are higher, dielectric breaks down. Avoid external electric energy impulse.
The peak voltage (Up, AC) shall not be higher than the rated DC voltage (UN, DC).

Environmental conditions

Attention: Do not exceed operating temperature. Do not expose the capacitor to humidity longer than it is recommended.
Do not expose the capacitor to increased temperature more than it is recommended.
The dissipation factor may change up and down with increased temperature. Avoid external fire or electricity.

Note: If the capacitor is exposed to humidity longer than it is recommended, the insulation resistance can occur. The place around the
capacitor units must have good air circulation.

Cautions and warnings

Cautions and Warnings

Mechanical overloads

Attention: The capacitor is designed for mounting on a PC board. After it has been soldered to the PC board do not move the
capacitor. The capacitor shall not be mounted on places where vibrations or accelerations occur. Do not exceed the tested ability
to withstand vibration. Avoid any compressive, tensile or flexural stress.

Note: Movement of the capacitor within the case can cause low insulation resistance,
shorts, failure on terminals and the capacitor case.

Overload

Attention: Do not overload the capacitor. Avoid overload of the capacitor and consider the flammability of materials.

Impulses

Attention: If electric energy impulses are higher, dielectric breaks down. Avoid external electric energy impulse.
The peak voltage (Up, AC) shall not be higher than the rated DC voltage (UN, DC).

Environmental conditions

Attention: Do not exceed operating temperature. Do not expose the capacitor to humidity longer than it is recommended. Do not
expose the capacitor to increased temperature more than it is recommended.
The dissipation factor may change up and down with increased temperature. Avoid external fire or electricity.

Note: If the capacitor is exposed to humidity longer than it is recommended, the insulation resistance can occur. The place around the
capacitor units must have good air circulation.

Cautions and warnings

Cautions and Warnings

Attention: In case of dents of more than 1 mm depth or any other mechanical damage, capacitors must not be used at all. This
applies also in cases of leakage. To ensure the full functionality of the overpressure disconnector, elastic elements must not
behindered and a minimum space of 12 mm has to be kept above each capacitor. Check tightness of the connections/terminals
periodically. The energy stored in capacitors may be lethal. To prevent any chance of shock, discharge and short-circuit the
capacitor before handling. Failure to follow cautions may result, worst case, in premature failures, bursting and fire. Iskra Sistemi,
d. d. is not responsible for any kind of possible damages to persons or things due to improper installation and application of
capacitors for power electronics.

Safety

Attention: Electrical or mechanical misapplication of capacitors may be hazardous.Personal injury or property damage may result
from bursting of the capacitor or from expulsion of oil ormelted material due to mechanical disruption of the capacitor. Ensure
good, effective grounding for capacitor enclosures. Observe appropriate safety precautions during operation (self-recharging
phenomena and the high energy contained in capacitors). Handle capacitors carefully, because they may still be charged even
after disconnection. The terminals of capacitors, connected bus bars and cables as well as other devices may also be energized.
Follow good engineering practice.

Thermal load

Attention: After installation of the capacitor it is necessary to verify that maximum hot-spot temperature is not exceeded at
extreme service conditions.

Mechanichal protection

Attention: The capacitor has to be installed in a way that mechanical damages and dents in the aluminum can are avoided.

Storage and operating conditions

Attention: Do not use or store capacitors in corrosive atmosphere, especially where chloride gas, sulfide gas, acid, alkali, salt or
the like are present. In dusty environments regular maintenance and cleaning especially of the terminals is required to avoid
conductive path between phases and/or phases and ground. The maximum storage temperature is 85 C.

Overpressure disconnector

Attention: Do not use or store capacitors in corrosive atmosphere, especially where chloride gas, sulfide gas, acid, alkali, salt or
the like are present. In dusty environments regular maintenance and cleaning especially of the terminals is required to avoid
conductive path between phases and/or phases and ground. The maximum storage temperature is 85 C.
