Capacitors in MPP and MKP Technology

ELECTRONICON's market knowledge and expertise together with a flexible manufacturing capability ensures that the company is able to offer capacitors for various applications utilising two differing technologies, namely MPP and MKP.

MPP

kraft paper electrodes metallized on both sides, with polypropylene dielectric, dried in high vacuum and impregnated completely with non-toxic mineral oil
very resistant against switching surges and steep voltage rise, frequent overcurrent and overvoltage
long life, high reliability
low loss level and enhanced thermal conductivity
very good self-healing ability

MPP capacitors technology is applied mostly to systems with a high proportion of switching operations, high switching overvoltages, and - together with filter reactors - to systems with high harmonic content. MPP capacitors are preferred for P.F.C. equipment with detuning filter reactors and as A.C.filter capacitors.

MKP

polypropylene film metallized on one side,
dry winding encapsuled by viscous resin
compact dimensions and low weight
resistant to frequent switching operations

The MKP capacitor is suitable for most applications in power factor correction, preferred primarily for non-detuned equipment, and applications on supply networks with low harmonic content.

Both capacitor technologies incorporate self-healing during dielectric breakdowns and are provided with an irreversible over-pressure safety mechanism (`break-action'). Dimensions, testing procedures, performance requirements conform with VDE 0560 pt.41and IEC 831-1,IEC 831-2.
