Reactor capacitor installation

How do you lift a reactor core & coil assembly?

Lifting of the core and coil assembly should be done via the lifting provisions on the core of the reactor. Care should be taken to avoid damage due to a height restriction. You will require at least 4-5 feet of clearance from the top of the enclosure or lifting eyes - including the spreader bars, to facilitate lifting.

How deep should a PFC capacitor be installed?

Do not install the capacitor in case of dents deeper than 0.5 mm! PFC capacitors must be installed in a cool and well venti-lated place, and not close to objects that radiate heat such as filter circuit reactors and furnaces, or in the direct sun-light.

How far should a capacitor be from a crimp?

A minimum distance of 20 mm between the capacitors is necessary to maintain sufficient cooling. ◼ Keep at least 20 mm space above the capacitor and do not attach any mounting components at the crimp or on top. This gap will allow a longitudinal extension of the can in order to ensure that the over-pressure dis-connector can fully extend.

Where should a capacitor be installed in a cabinet?

Capacitors installed in a cabinet should be placed on the bottom to minimize the stress temperature. SCap capacitors series may be mounted only in a vertical position. Warning! Do not install the capacitor in case of dents deeper than 0.5 mm!

Can a reactor core be lifted?

The reactor core and coils, and assembled enclosures, are designed for lifting/fork lifting, unless other provisions have been requested. Insure forks extend completely under the enclosure. Some care should be taken when handling the enclosure due to the lighter mechanical nature of the frames and panels. of dust or air borne contaminants.

Can a reactor be a core & coil?

The reactors are most frequently supplied as a core & coil. However if supplied with a ‘knock down’ enclosure, enclosure roof panels, side access panels and cover should be removed. Lifting of the core and coil assembly should be done via the lifting provisions on the core of the reactor.
