E93 – who said it has to look like a surge capacitor ?

To offer environmentally friendly, leak-proof and safe products to the market ELECTRONICON has developed a full MV range in totally dry construction. This range is now extended by the launch of a new range of Surge Capacitors - Series E93 - for the protection of transformers, electrical machines and other components in medium voltage applications. Surge capacitors are required to reduce the steepness of the wave front of the surge and protect the turn-to-turn insulation. Generally used along with a surge arrestor, the surge capacitor is one of the most important protection elements to increase the longevity of electrical machines.

These capacitors are manufactured using Metallised Polypropylene film and filled with solid PUR, thereby making them the first with dry technology. A special plastic coating makes these tubular type capacitors a step away from the conventional bulky All Film oil filled capacitors. With their simple connections our surge capacitors are a big advantage for the indoor surge protection requirements. Consider this, a 0,25uF /12 kV capacitor from E93 series weighs 4.1 kg compared to a whopping 15 kg of the capacitors common in the market. Worldwide patent pending.
