ENCLOSURE:
1. The APFC Panel shall have industrial CRCA enclosure of thickness not less than 2 mm ,free
standing and compact in size. Ground clearance of bottom most part of APFC Panel should not
be less than 150 mm .
2. Enclosure door shall be interlocked with main Isolator to deenergise capacitors before door
can be opened.
3. It shall have two separate earthing terminals on two diagonally opposite corner for earthing of
enclosure.
DESIGN FEATURES:
I. The APFC Controller automatically switches on/off , No of steps of capacitor banks by
continuously sensing and giving signal to switches devices to switch on/off , the capacitor
steps as per requirement to achieve power factor near unity.
III. The APFC Panel shall be painted after suitable treatment with one coat anti-corrosive paint
and two coats of synthetic enamelled paint of approved shade.
IV. The capacitor bank should be supplied with interconnection between units of capacitor and
phase connection.
V. Capacitor units shall be provided with arrangement of discharge resistors for quick
discharge of the bank after the capacitor is disconnected from the supply source so as to
reduce residual voltage to less than 50 volts within five minutes of switching off.
VI. The Capacitor element shall be wound from high purity annealed Aluminium foil , low loss
capacitor paper and Polypropylene film (to have mixed dielectric of paper and
polypropylene film ), vacuum dried and impregnated under vacuum with non-toxic , non-
PCB oil to ensure uniform film distribution and high ionisation limit.the basic unit shall be
hermetically sealed in suitable container.
VII. Each capacitor element shall be provided with built in fuse so as to isolate thje
faulty element if it becomes defective . In addition to this easily replaceable HRC fuses of
well known standard and made preferably of striker PIN indicator type single phase
capacitor unit shall be provided.
VIII. Measuring instrument shall be provided:
KWH Meter
PF Meter
KW Meter
Ammeter, Voltmeter and Selector Switch.
