Only those products bearing the UL Recognized Component Marks for the U.S. and Canada should be
considered as being covered by UL's Recognition and Follow-Up Service and meeting the appropriate U.S. and
Canadian requirements.
The UL Recognized Component Mark for the U.S. generally consists of the manufacturer’s identification and
catalog number, model number or other product designation as specified under “Marking” for the particular
Recognition as published in the appropriate UL Directory. As a supplementary means of identifying products that
have been produced under UL’s Component Recognition Program, UL’s Recognized Component Mark: , may
be used in conjunction with the required Recognized Marks. The Recognized Component Mark is required when
specified in the UL Directory preceding the recognitions or under “Markings” for the individual recognitions. The
UL Recognized Component Mark for Canada consists of the UL Recognized Mark for Canada: and the
manufacturer’s identification and catalog number, model number or other product designation as specified under
“Marking” for the particular Recognition as published in the appropriate UL Directory.
Recognized components are incomplete in certain constructional features or restricted in performance
capabilities and are intended for use as components of complete equipment submitted for investigation rather
than for direct separate installation in the field. The final acceptance of the component is dependent upon its
installation and use in complete equipment submitted to UL LLC.

Look for the UL Recognized Component Mark on the product.

 How To Choose LV Capacitors
Following Your Operating Conditions

The operating conditions are very important to the capacitors and can strongly
influence the life expectancy. This is why, different categories of capacitors, with
different levels of resistance, must be chosen according to operating conditions.

Capacitors must be selected in function of:

• Ambient temperature,
• Expected over-current related to voltage disturbances including
maximum sustained over voltage,
• Requested life expectancy,
• Maximum number of switching during the year.

Harmonics And Capacitors

Capacitors are strongly sensitive to harmonics and particularly to harmonics
currents. Harmonic currents are caused by non-linear loads connected to the
distribution system. The presence of harmonics in electrical systems means that
current and voltage are distorted and deviate from sinusoidal waveforms.

This phenomenon is particularly dangerous for capacitors since their impedance

decreases proportionally to the order of the harmonics present with consequent
capacitor overload and shortening steadily the life.
In some situations, resonance effect can occur as a result of amplification of
harmonic currents and a very high voltage distortion.

NON-LINEAR Loads
Considering what has been said before it is always necessary to keep in mind
the level of harmonics in your network before choosing any kind of equipment
especially Power Factor Correction one.
A significant parameter is the cumulated power of the non-linear loads
generating harmonic currents.
Since the harmonics are caused by non-linear loads, an indicator for the
magnitude of harmonics is the ratio of the total power of non-linear loads to
the supply transformer rating.

NLL = Total Power of Non Linear Loads

Instaled Transformer Rating

Example Of Calculations Of NON-LINEAR Loads

Installed transformer rating: 500 kVA

Total power of non-linear loads: 115 kVA

NLL= ( 115 / 500 ) x 100 = 23%

 Gruppo Energia Capacitors Family

INTACT BASE RCM-INB-3: Capacitors designed to be used in standard condi-

tions when there aren’t any significant non-linear loads.
NLL< 10%

INTACT PLUS (Heavy Duty) RCM-INP-3: Capacitors for working in di cult condi-
tions, resistant to voltage overloads or when the limited quantity of non-linear
loads are installed.
Particularity – largely increased current resistance.
NLL< 20%

INTACT AllPOWER (Extra Heavy Duty) RCM-INA-3: Highly reliable capacitors

for operating in harsh environments or with a significant level of non-linear
loads. Resistant to high overloads in current and voltage. Intact AllPOWER is also
resistant to high temperatures.
NLL< 25%

INTACT R-POWER RCM-INR-3: Capacitors to be used with detuned harmonic

reactor. This is the optimal solution for reactive power compensation in networ-
ks where there is a significant quantity of non-linear loads, therefore the use of
reactors is mandatory.
NLL< 30%

Capacitors Selection Taking In Mind Level Of Harmonics

As said before the percentage of non-linear loads NLL is a very important indica-
tor of magnitude of harmonics but a more detailed estimation of the magnitude
of harmonics can be made with measurements.
Significant indicators are current harmonic distortion THDi and voltage harmo-
nic distortion THDu. Both values must be measured at the transformer seconda-
ry without connected capacitors. According to the measured distortion, different
technologies of capacitors shall be selected.

Note:
The capacitor type should be selected according to the most restrictive
measurement. For Example, a measurement is giving the following results:

• THDi = 14,0%
• THDu = 4,0%

INTACT R-POWER with Detuned Reactor has to be selected.

 Harmonic Detuned Reactors

The detuned reactors are designed to protect the As we know systems with significant non-linear loads generate harmonics and
capacitors by preventing amplify cation of the harmonics shortening steadily operating life of capacitors.
harmonics present on the network.
Amplification of harmonic currents is very high when the natural resonance
frequency of the capacitor and the network combined happened to be close to
any of the harmonic frequencies present.

To avoid this possibility detuned reactors have to be associated to Power Factor

Correction capacitors. Capacitors and reactors are configured in a series reso-
nant circuit in the way that the series resonant frequency is below the lowest
harmonic frequency present in the system.

Detuned harmonic reactors prevents harmonic resonance problems, avoids the

risk of overloading the capacitors and contributes to reducing voltage harmonic
distortion in the network.

The most common values of reactors tuning frequency are 189 Hz and 134 Hz.
(134 Hz is used with high level of 3rd harmonic voltages).

Capacitors Rated Voltage With Detuned Reactors

INTACT R-POWER capacitors are oppositely designed to be used with detuned
GE-RT3 reactors. This is because, capacitance and inductance must be chosen
properly for series resonant circuit. Moreover the rated voltage of capacitors
must be higher that network service voltage.

The recommended rated voltage of capacitors to be used with detuned harmo-

nic reactors with respect to different network service voltage, relative tuning
frequency and capacitance - inductive connection is given in the table below.

Example of Capacitor Selection with a Detuned Reactor

Case:
For a 400 V 50 Hz system, it is required to compensate 25 kVar reactive power
with a detuned reactor, tuning frequency 189 Hz and 7% relative impedance.

Step 1:
Go to page 11 and check for 25 kVar in the “Total Power LC Capacitor + Reactor”
column. Select the capacitor power from standard solution at 440 V or extra live
solution at 525 V. The selection of the 25 kVar detuned reactor can be made on
the page 13.

Step 2:
Combination of capacitor with order code 3PF28,1E440INR257 and detuned
reactor with order code GE3RTM25.400R189 will give 25 kVar reactive power as
required.
