Medium Volt Surge Capacitor

About Medium Volt Surge Capacitor

Electrical networks experience surges wherein a voltage or a current rises rapidly to unsafe values and destroys the dielectric

insulation. These along with partial discharges are blamed for the majority of failures of electrical equipment of all types.

Surge capacitors work by absorbing the energy from electrical surges, providing protection to the equipment. Lightning or

Switching surges can cause damage to the turn-to-turn insulation of rotary machines, transformers. Connecting surge

capacitors line to ground at the motor terminals prevents this damage. For a more comprehensive protection scheme, surge

capacitors may be used in conjunction with surge arresters. This surge pack modifies both the wave shape and magnitude.
